Powdersville South Carolina

Powdersville is conveniently located at the northern tip of Anderson County in Upstate South Carolina, not far from Greenville and Easley. Since it is unincorporated, its boundaries are not well defined but it covers roughly 13.9 square miles. According to the 2000 census the population was 5,362. For many decades, Powdersville was mainly a farming community. In recent years, many new housing subdivisions and businesses along S.C. Highway 153 have turned Powdersville into a bustling suburban area. 

According to local legend the area of Powdersville received its name because general stores sold gunpowder and the powder could be seen spread about the town. So when entering the town people would say "This must be Powdersville."
