The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Inman was incorporated by South Carolina on December 22, 1882 at the crossroads of Howard Gap and Blackstock. The area that is now Inman lay along an Indigenous footpath used for travel and trade between the Piedmont and the southern Appalachian foothills. Portions of this route were later adopted and expanded by early settlers into the wagon road known as Howard Gap Road, which became a principal corridor through the region by the late eighteenth century.
