Simpsonville
Centennial: 100 years of progress The Simpsonville area was first inhabited by Indians
who referred to the area as "Dry Ridge." Many settlers in
the surrounding farm lands were important in Simpsonville development.
Nelson Austin owned a large estate of about 1,200 acres near town.
John T. Bennett from the Unity section served as superintendent of
Standing Springs Sunday school and was a teacher. John Bramlett gave
4 acres of land for the establishment of Bethel Church in 1810 and
was one of the church's first trustees. More

Simpsonville:
Where the heart is
I remember hot summer nights spent sitting on the front porch of my
Main Street home, listening to the sound of distant thunder as it
rolled across the earth.
Recollections: Growing up in Simpsonville
Modock "Doc" Satterwhite wore an expressive smile on his
face as he recalled the time he spent as a youngster in Simpsonville.
Present: Where we are
As growth continues and times change, one thing, if successful, will
tend to set the city apart: efforts to keep a turn-of-the-20th century
look and feel to downtown.
Simpsonville tomorrow: What's to
come
Visions and details for direction have a way of being upended, for
good or bad. But several things seem to be at least a good bet for
the next 20 years.
