OCONEE COUNTY’S

HERITAGE

Main Street in Westminster

CITIES & TOWNS SENECA City Hall: 221 E North 1st St., Seneca, SC 29678 (864) 885-2700 Seneca, the largest city in Oconee County, was founded in 1874. Early development of the city revolved around textiles making, Seneca a marketing and shipping point for cotton. Today, Seneca is better known for its downtown historic district centered around Ram Cat Alley, along with shopping, dining and lodging opportunities. Somewhere between studying the historic 19th century architecture and choosing from the abundance of recreational opportunities, tourists and residents alike will have no problem finding their place in Seneca. For more information on Seneca, please contact the Oconee County Chamber of Commerce.

WALHALLA City Hall: 206 N Church St., Walhalla, SC (864) 638-4343 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 8 • www.oconeechambersc.org

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. Walhalla’s history and legends continue at Issaqueena Falls and Stumphouse Tunnel located just a few minutes from downtown. Come to Walhalla. Enjoy a town that celebrates the past and embraces the present.

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. Our residential and business historical districts offer a visual smorgasbord for the sightseer along our Crape Myrtle-lined streets. Westminster is the home of the South Carolina Apple Festival.

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.

EDUCATION IN OCONEE

he School District of Oconee County enjoys high-quality, dedicated teachers, hard-working students and a supportive community. The district’s mission is to “partner with families to develop responsible, productive citizens who are life-long learners.” The goal is to prepare students for a future beyond the classroom through educational experiences and extracurricular activities as well as by leveraging well-developed industry partnerships. High schools and middle schools provide many extracurricular options for

SDOC students, including JROTC, FFA and other organized activities that suit various interests. The district has also long been recognized for its quality arts and music programs at all levels. Various sporting activities continue to amass awards at the local, regional, state and national levels as well. Several new instructional initiatives and recognitions this year indicate that SDOC is establishing a reputation across the state for being a quality district, determined to provide the best education possible to its students. In fact,

one of the district’s three high schools was recently named 2017 Palmetto’s Finest High School. New initiatives include a district-wide implementation of foreign-language instruction at all elementary schools.

{ EDUCATION } SDOC participates in a program that provides two Chinese teachers to the Seneca area schools for minimal cost. This year, various Spanish programs were offered throughout the district as well. In the 2016-17 school year, one elementary school piloted Rosetta Stone software, offering students the option of learning French, German, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese or Japanese. The experiment was a success and the district was able to work with the company to secure site licenses that will provide all elementary students with access to the software next year for a fraction of typical cost. SDOC will be the first district nationwide to do so. The School District of Oconee County recognizes that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is the future of our country and provides the best career options for SDOC students. Because

of this, the district has made a concerted effort to provide STEM educational opportunities for all students. Teachers receive STEM trainings in order to better provide hands-on learning activities for students. To help provide these experiences, the district applied for, and received, a grant for 3-D technology called

Z-space. This technology allows students to manipulate abstract variables in 3-D to enhance learning. To better disseminate STEM information, SDOC elementary schools often hold STEM nights. These evenings provide opportunities for students to interact with their families around STEM top-

Also, the 2016-17 school year was the first year the district implemented the NOW (Nurturing Oconee’s Workforce) program in collaboration with the Oconee Economic Alliance, Hamilton Career Center, and local industry partners. The program was created to ensure students enter the workforce ready and marketable to employers. Participation in the program will also provide students an employment advantage over their classmates. The program will continue and expand in 20117-18. The school board’s goal is that SDOC rank in the top 10 districts in the state of South Carolina. Toward this end, The

Oconee Memorial Hospital is designed to help patients return to enjoying the things they love the most. From walking to bending, joints are involved in nearly every motion we make. For individuals with joint pain, this means that even everyday activities can be adversely impacted. Severe joint pain can impact the ability to work, walk or even move due to arthritis or other causes. At GHS Oconee Memorial Hospital, hundreds of total hip and knee replacements are performed every year. OMH surgeons perform the latest minimally invasive techniques, including anterior approach hip replacement surgery. The state-of-the-art technology makes or-

thopedic surgery less invasive for less pain and faster recovery. GHS Oconee Memorial Hospital is committed to the community. They spend a great deal of money every year supporting community organizations in Oconee, for example: They provide a significant amount of funds to the Rosa Clark Free Clinic and provide all x-rays and labs for free. They spend tens of thousands of dollars each year to fund dozens of healthÂ related community events and organizations. They are committed to supporting the building of the YMCA in the near future.
