Anderson follows the tradition of naming cities after Revolutionary War heroes and takes after General Robert Anderson’s name. It is the first city in the south to have an unlimited supply of electricity, which is how it received its “Electric City” nickname. Downtown Anderson has plenty of historical landmarks, such as the Old Anderson County Courthouse, First Baptist Church of Anderson, and the Confederate Monument, which is in front of the existing county courthouse. The surrounding natural attractions are popular among visitors, too, since they offer plenty of things to do. These attractions include the peaceful Sadlers Creek State Park and the popular Lake Hartwell. Accommodations, such as hotels and bed and breakfasts in Anderson, are available as well.
