South Carolina 
Anderson County Pendleton
Pendleton is located in northern
Anderson County. It was
Cherokee land when colonists first began to settle here. The Cherokee sided with the British during the
Revolutionary War, but ceded their land to the State of South Carolina after the war.
Most of Pendleton's white settlers were
Scottish and Irish emigrants who had fought for American independence, but by the 1800s wealthy landowners from the Lowcountry were building luxurious summer homes in the area. They were attracted by cooler temperatures and fertile soil. The mix of hardscrabble mountain farmers and the more educated and socially refined summer population made Pendleton unique among upstate communities during the
antebellum years.
