City Directories and History: R&R has divided the 1939 SCDOT map of Cherokee County into (14) sectional maps. Many of the individually listed schools and churches shown on this section are pictured. However, in many cases, the individual site also has its own post on R&R, which often provides added information and image. Be wise and use the search function to locate all of the entries for this and other homeplace listings.

The Post Office and Community located at Grassy Pond was so named because of a large pond surrounded by pasture lands that formerly existed in this section.
In an earlier time what is now the Grassy Pond Community centered around a church and a school both bearing the name Beulah. Close to and just west of these was a rather good size pond whose sloping banks were covered with lush green grass and the name Grassy Pond became increasingly used. Today only a few old timers recall the name Beulah. Grassy Pond is a very fertile and productive community, its land bringing some of the most handsome prices in the county. A very imposing-and active Baptist church has long been the center of social life and community activity. When the Grassy Pond community promotes an activity the entire county knows that it is going to be outstanding. This results in wide spread interest in having the community participate in undertakings such as the South Carolina Peach Festival, Inc.
