==History==
In the early 20th century, the Chesnee Land Company bought a sizeable acreage at what is now Chesnee. A leading member of the company was John B. Cleveland of Spartanburg. Cleveland named the company - and later the town - after his great-grandmother, Margaret Chesnee, who was born in Scotland. She married Alexander Vernon, also born in Scotland.〔''Names in South Carolina'', pp 136-137 (Claude Henry Neuffer, ed.) (1967) Columbia, SC: Department of English, University of South Carolina, based on ''A Brief History of the First Fifty Years of Chesnee, South Carolina, 1911-1961'' by Helen Hicks Ezell.〕 The Clinchfield Railroad ran an excursion train over the newly laid rails to Spartanburg on October 23, 1909.
The Chesnee post office was established in 1910,〔Helbock, Richard W. (2007) ''United States Post Offices, Volume VIII - The Southeast'', p. 55, Scappoose, Oregon: La Posta Publications.〕 and the town was chartered in 1911. Early businesses included a hotel, pharmacy, cotton mill, and lumber mill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = SCIWAY.net )〕
