Peak was founded in 1853 as Peak's Station on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad and was named for railroad superintendent H.T. Peake. In 1865 Federal troops destroyed the tracks here and over the Broad River. Incorporated in 1880, Peak prospered as a railroad town and local center of farming, business, and medical care, despite fires in its commercial district in 1909, 1953, and 1978.
