City Directories and History: These PDF’s list was compiled as part of a study of grist mills in upcountry S.C. in 2005. The survey was conducted by Southeastern Archeological Services, Inc. Researchers should recall that in 1880, many of S.C.’s counties had not yet been formed. Therefore, some grist mills as per this survey of 1880 will be listed in their original county locations, perhaps not in the current S.C. county location.
R&R Note: This list is certainly considered a great research project but it does not include many “locally” documented gist mills that operated during the late 19th century.
