The name of the town, in classic American style, is an acronym; it stands for South Eastern COal Company. Like many in the area, this was a coal mining town: and the old mine can still be seen.

The heart of the town, for once, is not city hall, or a large church, or a Civil War historic site: it's the old company store, now the Highland Winery.

Just the same, Seco does have its churches: they're an attractive group, so even if my page isn't much, the photos are good.
