History

In many places, these waterways descend abruptly, providing a source for plentiful waterpower. It is used frequently by cyclists, joggers and walkers and is located just east of downtown. Cotton mills have abounded in the Spartanburg area since 1816, earning Spartanburg the reputation as the "Lowell of the South." Although there were relatively few mills in the area before the American Civil War, new technological advances that simplified the work, northern capital, and out-migration from the poor farms created a wave of postbellum mill development here and in much of the piedmont Southern USA Additionally, the abundant streams and rivers in the area are just beginning their descent towards the lower-lying Midlands, SC region. The site of a locally-famous skirmish during the American Revolutionary War, it was the home of the Moore family. Since the Lawson's Fork floodplain is not suitable for development, it has remained home to much of the wildlife for which this entire area was once known.
