A History of Saluda, South Carolina

Saluda County Courthouse - Saluda, South Carolina

Apparently, the town of Saluda is not all that proud of its history because to date I have not been able to locate anything significant regarding the history of the town - I can find info on Saluda County in general, but not specifically on the town.

So, if anyone has a decent history for the town of Saluda, please send it to me at jd.lewis@carolana.com. All help is greatly appreciated.

Established in Edgefield County as Redbank, the town was granted a US Post Office on January 13, 1886, and its first Postmaster was Mr. Joseph A. Attaway. In 1895, Saluda County was created from Edgefield County, and Redbank was named the County Seat. On August 30, 1896, the town was officially renamed to Saluda. Its Post Office has been in continuous operation ever since inception in 1886.
