Anderson County, South Carolina
Anderson County sits in the northwest corner of South Carolina, next to Georgia. It’s part of the region known as “The Upstate.” There’s a strong manufacturing base, but there’s plenty of farmland too. You’ll see old barns and silos next to modern factories.
The city of Anderson is the heart of the county. Locals call it “The Electric City” because it was one of the first places in the Southeast to get electricity. Anderson’s downtown is going through a revival.
Lake Hartwell cover 56,000 acres, perfect for boating, fishing, or just hanging out on the shore. It’s an interesting mix. Clemson University is just a stone’s throw away. This county has managed to keep its small-town vibe while still growing.
