About Pickens, South Carolina

Pickens is a city of 3,388 people and the seat of Pickens County. Both are named for Andrew Pickens, a soldier of the American Revolution who later represented South Carolina in Congress. This land belonged to the Cherokee, who had sided with Britain in the war and were forced to give it up after the British lost. In 1791 the state legislature created Washington District. That district was split in 1798 into Greenville and Pendleton districts, and in 1828 Pendleton was divided again into Anderson and Pickens.

The first seat of the new district was a courthouse on the banks of the Keowee River, and a village called Pickens Court House grew up around it. In 1868 the district was split one last time, into Pickens and Oconee counties. The town then moved to the site where it stands today, dropped the Court House from its name, and was chartered on July 22, 1868. Pickens changed from a town to a city in 1998.

  • The Old Pickens JailThe county built this jail in 1903. Besides holding prisoners, it housed the sheriff's offices and gave him a place to live. It is one of the few early jails left standing in the South Carolina Piedmont. It joined the National Register in 1979, and today it serves the town as a museum.
  • A house from about 1856The Hagood-Mauldin House went up around 1856, while the county seat still sat on the Keowee River, a dozen years before the town moved to its present site. It is counted among the historic buildings of Pickens County and joined the National Register in 1997.
  • Rails from Easley in 1898The Pickens Railway was founded in 1898 as a short line that ran between Easley and Pickens. It tied the young county seat to its larger neighbor.
  • Glassy MountainGlassy Mountain rises east of the city. It is a piedmont monadnock, a lone peak of a kind rarely found in South Carolina. Sixty-five acres of it belong to the South Carolina Heritage Trust and protect rare plants. To the north, Table Rock can be seen from Pickens, Easley and Greenville, and it has long served as a symbol of Pickens.
