== Fun facts ==
* Pickens is the whitest county by percentage in South Carolina. In addition, although that is unrelated, it is the opposite of most college counties - it is one of the state's more Republican counties, having not gone for a Democrat since the majority of both the human and Pokemon voters cast their votes for Jimmy Carter in 1976.
* Arial is mostly an extension of Easley, and is the location of the Pickens County Country Club.
* Six Mile is the birthplace of video game music composer Kunimatsu Yoshifumi.
* A major factor in Pickens County's growth was the coming of the textile industry. The county's first modern cotton mill, organized by D. K. Norris and others, was established at Cateechee in 1895. By 1900 the county could boast of three cotton mills, two railroads, three banks, three roller mills, thirty-seven sawmills, ten shingle mills, and four brickyards.
* The most significant developments in the county's history have occurred since World War II. By 1972 there were 99 manufacturing plants in the county employing almost 15,000 personnel and producing not only textiles but a wide variety of other products. There is a heavy in-migration to Pickens County because of its climate, industrial opportunity, proximity to Greenville's labor market, and scenic beauty.
