Laurens County

     Considered to be the gateway to the region, Laurens County welcomes visitors to the Upstate.  Organized in 1785, Laurens County is named for Henry Laurens of Charleston who was the president of the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War.  With the natural resources of the Upstate, Laurens County was established as an area centered on textiles.  Today, textiles have been replaced by a mix of industries, including plastics, automobiles, and advanced manufacturing.  Its newest area of industrial growth is the ClintonPark Corporate Center.
