About Laurens
Founded in 1785, Laurens is one of South Carolina's oldest inland cities and serves as the county seat. The city's historic downtown square is anchored by the 1838 courthouse and features well-preserved 19th and early 20th century architecture. Laurens thrived as a textile center for over a century, with several large mills defining the local economy. The city has maintained its historic character while adapting to modern economic realities, with a focus on preserving its architectural heritage.
