Book excerpt: Oconee County, nestled in the foothills of the Upstate, possesses a rich history intertwined with its geography, which extends from the fertile Cherokee lands along the waters of the Tugaloo to the mountain forests of the churning Chattooga River. Equal to the challenges of the region's harsh yet beautiful terrain, the people of Oconee County entered the 20th century with an agrarian economy established by Revolutionary War veterans, cultivated by German settlers, brutalized by the events from the Civil War, and advanced in part by educators from the county's military institute, Clemson College.
