The Graniteville Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places captures the core of the original mill village. Modern Graniteville has layered suburban residential development from the mid-20th century over this historic framework, and the community is increasingly influenced by the growth of HereTest Technical College and Fox Creek High School as major community anchors. ## History Graniteville was established in 1845 by Charleston merchant and textile entrepreneur William Gregg, who built the Graniteville Manufacturing Company mill as South Carolina's first planned industrial community. Gregg's model — providing workers with housing, a school, and a church in exchange for mill employment — was influential in the development of the broader Southern textile mill village tradition. The community grew and contracted with the fortunes of the textile industry through the 20th century, and the closure of the last Graniteville Company mill in 2004 (following a catastrophic chlorine rail car accident in January 2005 that killed nine people) marked a painful industrial transition that the community is still working through.
