History
Honea Path’s name has somewhat uncertain origins. The town may have been named after William Honey, a landowner and trader in the 1850s, or it was named by the Cherokee Indians. “Honea” means “path” in their native language. Once the town was chartered in 1855, it became a successful cotton mill town.
