The Cherokee were the first people known to live in the Anderson area. They sided with the British in the Revolution, and afterward their land was taken as war reparations and settled. In 1791 the legislature created the Washington District, later divided into the Greenville and Pendleton districts. Anderson was settled in 1826, when Anderson District, later Anderson County, was created from the Pendleton District, and it was incorporated in 1828 as Anderson Court House. It was named for Robert Anderson, a Revolutionary War soldier who had explored the region in the mid-18th century.

More about Anderson

The Johnson Female Seminary, the town's first college, was founded in 1848, named for William Bullein Johnson, and renamed Johnson University a year later. During the Civil War it was closed and used as a Confederate treasury. On May 1, 1865, Union forces entered Anderson looking for the treasury, ransacked the treasury office and used the university's main building as their headquarters, and a minor skirmish known as the Battle of Anderson left two Union casualties. A Union garrison was stationed in town after the war. In 1902 residents put up a 38-foot Confederate monument facing the county courthouse. In 1895 William C. Whitner brought electricity to Anderson from a hydroelectric plant on the Rocky River, making it one of the first cities in the Southeast with electric power and earning it the nickname the Electric City.
