Hi friends! We appreciate the positive feedback we’ve received from you for our irregular amalgamation of “stuff” we find and find interesting.
Please find below the wording of a county interoffice memorandum from way back in 2010 that might be considered the Beta Version of FFTK&T.
The information was originally prepared as a result of a citizen inquiry, Though the identity of the citizen who inquired has been lost to the sands of time, the legacy begotten of their quest for knowledge lives on. Enjoy!
PS—The Anderson County Property Viewer referenced below is a handy little resource where citizens can find all manner of geographic information. It can be accessed here- https://propertyviewer.andersoncountysc.org/mapsjs/. Explore and Enjoy!
