The name of this location was changed to "Garrison Shoals" by David Sr. where he, along with son David Jr. owned a grist mill, tavern and of land. The name was changed again, to "Piedmont", by the owner of the first successful cotton mill of the area, who had purchased the original mill's property from David Sr. The property was located between Piedmont and Pelzer on Golden Grove Creek of the Saluda River, where Garrison appears on the 1790 Census. He is known as the founder of Piedmont. Piedmont Manufacturing Company, which was organized in 1873 and began operation in 1876, was a textile mill that was one of the first large-scale cotton manufacturers in upstate South Carolina. It had considerable influence on the development of other mills in the area. The 1915 film, Birth Of A Nation, was set here. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piedmont, South Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
