History
Spartanburg County formed in 1785, deriving its name from the Spartan regiment of the Colonial army during the Revolutionary War. In 1781, the Battle of Cowpens was fought in what is now known as Spartanburg County. This battle was led by General Daniel Morgan and turned the tide of the war as Continental troops drove the British to defeat. The city of Spartanburg was officially incorporated in 1831, but it wasn’t until several decades later that the town saw major growth. After the introduction of the railroad, Spartanburg became known as “Hub City”, as many railroad lines fanned out from the town’s center. Like many towns in the area, Spartanburg evolved into a textile-manufacturing town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, the city is a diverse manufacturing center with a variety of firms represented.
