Little Mountain

Little Mountain is an isolated summit that rises above the surrounding landscape in Newberry County and serves as a local landmark. The formation offers views over the area and provides a reference point for the community.

The settlement took shape in 1890 when the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad Company built a station nearby. This development brought growth to the area and connected it to the wider region.

The town reunion that started in 1882 continues to draw people back, showing how the community stays connected to its roots. Locals and visitors gather to celebrate the place and its enduring traditions.

The town is easy to reach with good road access near Columbia, making a visit straightforward. Basic services are available, and the town office at 206 Depot Street can provide local information.

The mountain is the last remaining piece of hard rock that resisted erosion while the surrounding land wore away completely. This makes it a rare geological witness to how the land shaped itself over time.
