Cherokee County, South Carolina
Cherokee County lies in South Carolina's Upstate along the North Carolina line, centered on Gaffney, its county seat and largest city, with Blacksburg as a smaller manufacturing town to the east. The economy rests on manufacturing plants along the I-85 corridor, and land trades at lower prices than neighboring Spartanburg and York counties, drawing industrial and workforce-housing development from Charlotte's expanding exurbs.
