Tucked in the mountains of South Carolina, there once stood a hotel named Fountain Inn. Though the hotel is no more, the entire community sprung up around it, and the area took on its original name. A marker still stands commemorating the inn -- the birthplace of the community.Fountain Inn sits along the border of Greenville and Laurens counties with a population of just over 6,000 people. It carries a couple of nicknames, too: "The Diamond Tip of the Golden Strip" and "The Front Porch of the Upstate."

Fountain Inn loves to celebrate and annually hosts festivals like the Christmas Festival, International Festival, and Aunt Het Day, in which they celebrate the area's notable cartoonist, humorist and journalist Robert Quillen. Fountain Inn was also home to something else a bit unusual -- a one legged tap dancer named Clayton "Peg Legs" Bates. NFL player Travelle Wharton also hails from Fountain Inn.One of the advantages to living in Fountain Inn is experiencing the four seasons. The mountains bloom vividly with spring wildflowers, which give way to mild summers averaging less than 90 degrees. There is some humidity coming from the Atlantic, but the altitude keeps it reasonable. Fall brings vibrantly colored leaves, giving way to winters averaging in the mid-30 degree range.
