CITIES & TOWNS SENECA City Hall: 221 E North 1st St., Seneca, SC 29678 (864) 885-2701

Walhalla was founded in 1850 as a land expansion by German Settlers out of
Charleston, South Carolina. It is the County Seat.. The area’s history is shown through the historic churches, home and museums scattered around town. Approximately 4300 citizens call Walhalla home. The tree lined Main Street has a number of antique and specialty shops, as well as a variety of restaurants. Walhalla’s culture is celebrated every year with Oktoberfest and Mayfest.

WESTMINSTER City Hall: 100 E Windsor St., Westminster, SC (864) 647-3212
Chartered in 1875 the City of Westminster has a Mayor/Council form of government. The City provides complete municipal services and utilities to its approximately 2,700 residents. A treasure trove of unique architecture, Westminster boasts more than one hundred homes that are unique to the late 1800’s and turn-of-the-century.

Oconee is steeped in rich heritage and tradition. Originally a Cherokee nation, General Andrew Pickens and Colonel Benjamin Cleveland founded and negotiated the territory for the fledgling colony, finally settling in Cheohee Valley near the present-day Tamassee community. From 1800 until 1814, Oconee was a part of Pendleton District and in 1826, this District was divided into Anderson and Pickens Districts. During Reconstruction-era South Carolina, Pickens County was split in half with the western half named Oconee in 1868. An influx of German immigrants, who had found Charleston unwelcoming and difficult to succeed in, brought fresh blood into the mountains with the founding of Walhalla in 1850. Railroads brought more towns into the predominantly rural county, with the founding of Seneca at the intersection of the Blue Ridge Railroad and the Air Line Railroad in 1874. Westminster was founded in 1875 at a water stop on the Southern Railway. 2014-2015 • 9

The mountains provide a beautiful backdrop to most any activity, whether you’re enjoying a quiet afternoon on a boat or the intensity of a rafting down The Chattooga Wild and Scenic River Trail. Those mountains and the areas around them offer many great hiking trails, where enthusiasts can get away from it all to explore nature and search for an array of waterfalls found throughout the area.
Kayaking on Lake Jocassee
Oconee County is probably best known for its lakes – Keowee, Jocassee and Hartwell – offering tens of thousands of acres of fun on the water for swimming, boating, skiing or just taking the time to enjoy a beautiful sunset with the reflection on the lake. The lakes are also a great place to fish. Landings throughout the county give access to lake fishing to even the smallest water craft and the Oconee lakes are even home to large fishing tournaments including a FLW tournament this year, which brought in more than 150 anglers from all over the nation. If a faster, more intense ride on the water peaks your interetest, the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River may be more your style. Guided rafting tours are available on this river, which was the site used for the filming of the 1970s movie “Deliverance.”

Oconee County has long been a destination for retirees from across the country who want a place to enjoy their golden years. Some have found the county by chance, through a visit or a vacation, while others have sought out a retirement location through research before choosing Oconee. The natural beauty of the Golden Corner is one of the reasons many give for spending their retirement years in Oconee County. With mountains as backdrop to beautiful lakes, rivers and waterfalls, Oconee has earned recognition for its beauty. In 2012, National Geographic magazine named Oconee County’s Jocassee Gorges No. 9 on a list of 50 of the World’s Last Great Places. The beauty of the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River put Oconee on display in the 1970s movie “Deliverance.” More opportunities are coming for movies to be made in the area, further showing off the beauty of the Golden Corner.

Whether it be property on pristine Lake Keowee or property with a mountain view of the Carolina escarpment, or a combination of the two, the Upstate of South Carolina is a “Great Place to Live”. With an abundance of scenic waterfalls and hiking trails winding through undisturbed land once the home of the Cherokee Indians, one finds the true beauty of nature no matter what the season. In the heart of nearby Jocassee Gorges one may find some of the 60 species of rare plants that grow there, including the “hallmark” Oconee Bell. And yet, within a few miles of this unspoiled environment, one finds the convenience of modern living with shopping malls, health facilities, and educational opportunities offered at Clemson University and Tri-County Technical College. No matter what your lifestyle may be, we at Jay Scott Real Estate will endeavor to find that one spot in the Golden Corner that you will soon call “your home”.

SENIOR LIVING
Affordability is another reason Oconee is a top choice among many retirees. Real estate costs are much lower than many other locations that are considered popular for retirement. Property taxes are the third lowest in South Carolina and the state’s low gas taxes in comparison to the rest of the nation make travel inexpensive compared with other nearby states. The location of Oconee County is also a plus for retirees, nestled almost halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta. There is good access to hospitals for medical needs in Oconee County. Oconee Medical Center is now a part of Greenville Health System, giving local residents even greater access to quality medical care and additional medical specialties.

Another plus is the proximity to Clemson University with access to many cultural and major college sporting events as well as the academic and cultural advantages that come from being near a university town.
