Anderson County Genealogy
Anderson was created in 1826 from the old Pendleton District. It was named for a Revolutionary War soldier, Robert Anderson. The area was originally settled by the Cherokee until a 1777 treaty ceded to the colonists. The area of the Pendleton District was also known as Washington District for a period of time, before the district was split to form Anderson and Pickens Counties in 1826. Pendleton is the oldest town in the county, founded in 1790. The town of Anderson Courthouse was established close to the center when the county was created. Cotton and textiles have been major products of the area through the years. Anderson was noted as the first city in the south to have a continuous supply of electricity. Power was supplied by a water mill in the Rocky River. That is attributed to the ingenuity of William Whitner. The first electric cotton gin was built in Anderson in 1897.
Anderson County is home to the Anderson County Museum.
