Professional Web Design Services in Fountain Inn, SC

Fountain Inn takes its name from a simple, honest origin: an early 19th-century stagecoach inn built beside a gushing natural spring on the post road between the county seats of Greenville and Laurens. Travelers called the stop "Fountain Inn," and a post office was established under that name in 1832. The town incorporated on Christmas Eve 1886 when the Charleston and Western Carolina Railroad arrived, and by 1898 the Fountain Inn Cotton Mill had opened, launching a textile era that would shape the community for decades. Today that manufacturing DNA lives on through companies like Bosch Rexroth, which has operated a 100-acre hydraulics campus in Fountain Inn since 1989 and recently completed an $80 million expansion.

Straddling Greenville and Laurens counties at the southern tip of the Golden Strip corridor along I-385, Fountain Inn has grown from 7,800 residents in 2010 to over 14,000 today, with 180+ new home communities in development. The Younts Center for Performing Arts, housed in a stunning 1939 Art Deco building that was once the high school, anchors the cultural scene with orchestra performances, musicals, and symphonies. Robert Quillen Park honors the town's famous syndicated columnist with a statue of Clayton "Peg Leg" Bates, the legendary one-legged tap dancer who grew up here. Each October, Main Street closes for the Aunt Het Festival, celebrating Quillen's beloved fictional character, while the Fountain Inn Scottish Games honor the area's Celtic heritage. With a cost of living 14% below the national average and one of the lowest crime rates in Greenville County, Fountain Inn delivers genuine small-town character just 20 minutes from downtown Greenville.
