== Fun facts ==
* In an area of textile mills developed in the early 20th century, Honea Path was the site of a violent confrontation between textile union workers and company management on September 6, 1934 during a larger textile strike and efforts at labor organizing. Textile factory guards killed six picketers and injured approximately twenty more in the altercation. The men were reported to have been shot fleeing the picket lines, and many were found with bullet wounds in their backs. This event is featured in the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) documentary on the POV series called "The Uprising of '34". An historical photo essay entitled "Mill Town Murder" is online at Beacham Journal.
