Anderson

"The Electric City" was originally inhabited by the Cherokees until 1777, when the land was ceded to South Carolina. Anderson was named after Revolutionary War hero, Robert Anderson, who surveyed the land along with Andrew Pickens.  Originally, the area was called the Pendleton District, which later became divided into two districts; Anderson and Pickens. A town was built around the newly built courthouse, which would eventually become Anderson.  Electricity, textiles and agriculture have all played vital roles in the city, which has created a rich heritage with monumental influence throughout the county and state. Anderson continues to be the cornerstone of the county with large growth, a vibrant community and a beautiful downtown area.
