Discover Gaffney
Gaffney is named for Michael Robert Gaffney, born in 1775 in the town of Granard, County Longford, Ireland. He emigrated to the United States in 1797, landing in New York, and moved a few years later to Charleston, South Carolina. In 1804 he settled in the Upcountry and opened a tavern and lodging house at a spot that became known as Gaffney's Cross Roads, where a road from the North Carolina mountains to Charleston crossed another running from Charlotte into Georgia. Michael Gaffney died there on September 6, 1854.
More about Gaffney
By 1872 the settlement was known as Gaffney City. When Cherokee County was formed in 1897 from parts of York, Union and Spartanburg counties, Gaffney became its county seat. The town grew into one of South Carolina's major textile centers, and textiles were the backbone of the county's economy until the 1980s. Limestone University operated in Gaffney from 1845 until 2025. After Interstate 85 was built, new industry located near the highway and the older uptown district declined. The city's water tower is shaped like a peach. Sources Wikipedia: Gaffney, South Carolina
