Moving to Belton, SC
About Belton
Belton is an Anderson County town tagged "Historic Heart, with a New Beat" and known as the "Tennis Capital of South Carolina." Its great civic inheritance is tennis: the sport has been played here since 1892, the SC Tennis Hall of Fame is in town, public clay courts welcome all comers, and the Palmetto Championships (est. 1950s) still hold finals here. The town's landmark is the 1909 Belton Standpipe — a battlement-topped water tower on the National Register, namesake of the Standpipe Heritage and Arts Festival, Anderson County's longest-running fall festival. The old Southern Railway depot is refurbished as a venue, and downtown has murals along the Bubble Gum Rail Trail.
