The peach is honored as a delectable fruit of a friendly soil and a beneficent sun, symbolizing God's bounty and man's enterprise. Spartanburg County has the honor of the richest peach harvest in the nation, and gratitude is expressed for this favor. Tribute is paid to the pioneer orchardists whose foresight and diligence established an industry that means much to the county's welfare. Their cultivation of a choice fruit set a worthy example, and their culture of the land contributed to the culture of mankind. The first carload of Spartanburg County peaches was shipped July 31, 1924.
