Cherokee County sits at the northern gateway to South Carolina along the I-85 corridor, anchored by the City of Gaffney. The county's economy blends manufacturing, agriculture, and I-85 corridor commerce, with the iconic Peachoid water tower standing as its most recognizable landmark.
The county's manufacturing base includes textiles, plastics, and limestone quarrying. Gaffney serves as the retail and services hub for the surrounding area. The I-85 corridor attracts logistics, distribution, and hospitality businesses serving travelers between Charlotte and Atlanta.
Whether your business is headquartered in Gaffney or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.

Serving Cherokee County means knowing it. Here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Cherokee County's economy has historically been tied to textiles, limestone quarrying, and peach farming. The county was a major textile center through the 20th century, and while many mills have closed, the manufacturing culture persists through plastics, metal fabrication, and food processing.
The I-85 corridor through Gaffney has become the county's primary economic driver. The Hamrick Industries and Gaffney Premium Outlets attract shoppers and travelers. Limestone quarrying remains significant, and the county's peach orchards (hence the Peachoid) contribute to local agriculture.
Today, Cherokee County is working to attract new investment along the I-85 corridor while maintaining its small-town character. The combination of interstate accessibility, affordable land, and a workforce with manufacturing experience creates opportunity for businesses seeking lower costs than the Greenville or Charlotte metros.

"I run a peach orchard and farm stand near Gaffney and our seasonal income — most revenue in 4 months — made year-round bookkeeping a challenge. Tides set up seasonal forecasting and proper crop expense tracking. Now I can plan my off-season without worrying about cash flow surprises."
