Apparently gators, range indicated above in yellow, inhabit most of the Deep South, and even North Carolina clear up to the VA border. But I think we've got most of them here in Florida.
I saw a few decent-sized ones in some swampy areas and culverts, right in the middle of the built-up part of Kiawah Island, South Carolina. There's signs all over the island warning you to not feed them. To that, I simply say, "Durrrrrrr."

At the far reaches of their range, the gators are smaller and more sluggish. Not many candidates for man-eater in NC as a result.
