Graniteville Mill and William Gregg’s Dream for Aiken County
The Graniteville Mill, built by William Gregg in 1846, spurred a company town with houses, schools, churches, and stores. The mill produced 14,000 yards daily by 1849, paid steady dividends through the Civil War, and shaped regional industry and education through the Gregg Graniteville Foundation.
