Anderson County has a rich history dating back to our founding in 1801. From coal mining to pearling, to our rise from agricultural infancy to become a world-leading technological powerhouse, our county is unique. Our assets are diverse, from recreation and history, to manufacturing and scientific discovery. We encourage you to know as much about your local government as possible, and are happy to answer your questions or concerns. We hope you find our website useful and are always open to new ideas. Our goal is to serve you in the best way possible—because, it’s you we work for. My best regards, Mrs. Terry Frank, County Mayor.
