Description

Mildred C. Hart's account of Mauldin, South Carolina, traces its transformation from a rural crossroads in the 1920s to a rapidly growing city by the 1980s. Originally known as “the place where the pavement ends,” Mauldin evolved with the arrival of the railroad in 1886, incorporation in 1910, and post-World War II industrialization. Early settlers like the Austins and Griffiths shaped the town’s development, while churches, schools, and civic engagement formed its backbone. By 1980, Mauldin boasted a population of over 8,000, significant infrastructure, industry, and civic institutions, embodying a blend of historical legacy and modern progress.
