About Anderson

Anderson is the county seat of Anderson County in the Upstate of South Carolina. It has a long education history, beginning with the Johnson Female Seminary in the 1850s, and Anderson University remains an important local institution. The city also works as a regional center for shopping, healthcare, government, and access to Lake Hartwell. Anderson feels like a practical Upstate hub: part college town, part courthouse city, and part gateway to the lake country near the Georgia border.
