Did you know that South Carolina is known as the "Tastier Peach State"? | Did you know that at one time Spartanburg County alone produced more peaches than the entire state of Georgia? In 1948, South Carolina out-produced California to lead all states in peach production. Spartanburg County alone had over three million peach trees and more than 240 peach sheds in 1951.
