Piedmont straddles the South Carolina counties of Anderson and Greenville. The area was used by Native Americans as a river crossing, due to the rock formations jutting into the Saluda River. Shortly after the Civil War, Henry Pinckey Hammett established a cotton mill there and, as early as the 1880s, he was using hydroelectric power to run the machinery in his mills.
