Gaffney: Cherokee County and the Peach-Shaped Water Tower
Gaffney serves as the county seat of Cherokee County in the upstate, about 50 miles northwest of Columbia and 50 miles southeast of Charlotte along Interstate 85. The city was incorporated in 1875 and grew as a textile manufacturing center, with mills that produced cotton cloth into the late 20th century. The former Gaffney Manufacturing Company complex dominates the north side of downtown.
The Peachoid, a water tower shaped and painted to resemble a peach, stands 135 feet tall beside Interstate 85 and holds a million gallons of water. Built in 1981, it became a regional landmark and was featured prominently in the Netflix series House of Cards. South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia despite Georgia's nickname, and the Peachoid advertises that fact to passing motorists. Limestone College, founded in 1845 as a women's college and now coeducational, operates a 115-acre campus in Gaffney.
