The town so nice they named it thrice! This town was founded as Rockville, turned into Pickensville the very next year and eventually called Easley.
Easley is a small city in South Carolina that is located in both Pickens County and Anderson County. Founded in 1791 as Rockville, modern Easley is home to nearly 20,000 people. This is a city incorporated together from the two historical towns of Pickensville and Easley, the latter winning the final title due to its local railway and growing population. When the two towns' borders met as of the latter part of the 19th century, Pickensville became nothing more than a small neighborhood within the larger town. View Easley City Guide
