About Woodruff, South Carolina

Woodruff is a city of 4,212 people in Spartanburg County, and it carries the name of the family that settled it. In 1787 Joseph Woodruff and his brothers were listed as members and deacons when the Jamey's Creek Church of Christ first recorded its minutes, and that congregation later became Woodruff Baptist Church. By 1789 Joseph had bought two hundred acres along the creek, land that takes in the site of the present town.

Joseph's son Thomas Woodruff became postmaster, so the post office took the family name. By 1825 that post office and Woodruff's Tavern stood out at the crossroads. Cotton farms spread across the region around it, and the crossroads grew into the place where rural families came to trade. In the 1850s the town held large fairs for swapping livestock and homemade goods, and in 1874 Woodruff was incorporated with an estimated 150 residents.

  • The railroad arrives in 1885The railroad reached Woodruff in 1885, and by the next year the town had an estimated 1,600 people. Woodruff sat at the end of the line, so its station had a turntable that turned trains around for the trip back to Augusta, Georgia. Through the 1880s and 1890s builders kept adding to Main Street, and the well-liked Leatherwood Hotel was its center.
  • A fair that drew North CarolinaA fair started in Woodruff in the 1870s. It kept growing, and by the 1890s it had become a major event every year, with visitors traveling from as far away as North Carolina.
  • Cotton mills from 1898Industry came to Woodruff in 1898, when the Woodruff Cotton Oil Company set up in town. Before three years had passed, the Woodruff Cotton Mill had received its charter and was running, and by 1907 the W.S. Gray Cotton Mill had opened too. Each mill brought new mill houses, and the town grew around them.
  • 200,000 peach treesTextiles ruled the local economy, but until World War II peaches came second. Orchards within ten miles of Woodruff held more than 200,000 trees.
  • A new plant in 1962In the 1950s industry favored large cities, and Woodruff lost four percent of its people. The town turned that around in 1962, when the Jeffery Manufacturing Company opened a plant that cost $2,500,000. The new jobs widened the town's industrial base and drew new residents, and by 1970 Woodruff had 4,576 people.
