Simpsonville was little more than a stop on the road between Greenville and Laurens; South Carolina; when a man named Peter Simpson moved to the area in the 1840s. Simpson became the postmaster and blacksmith for the area; then known as �Plain� or �Dry Ridge;� and streets and churches began to spring up; creating a town. By the time of its incorporation in 1901; Simpsonville was thriving as a small railroad town; with a textile mill drawing more to the area in 1908. Under the leadership of two particularly influential and long-standing mayors; Dr. L.L. Richardson and Ralph Hendricks; Simpsonville grew throughout the 20th century to become the hub of commerce and development that it is today.
