== History == European Americans settled here after the Cherokee were forced to cede their land in 1819.

Floride Calhoun inherited the property after her mother's death in 1836 but, under South Carolina law, she likely lost any individual rights to it because of her marriage.

They migrated and settled in Tennessee and deeper into Georgia and Alabama, before most were subjected to forced Indian Removal in 1839 to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).

Calhoun died in 1850; his widow Floride Calhoun gained total ownership of Fort Hill Plantation.

Because Anna Maria was the only living child, she inherited a part of Fort Hill when Floride died in 1866.

When Anna Maria died in 1875, he inherited the plantation.

After his death in 1888, what developed as Clemson University was founded on that land.

Clemson University was founded in 1889 and located south of the original town.

The Clemson (train) Depot, built in 1893, was renovated in 2001; it now houses the local chamber of commerce and visitor center.

The South Carolina General Assembly designated Clemson University as a "municipal corporation" in 1894.

In 1943, the town was renamed to Clemson, reflecting its identification with the adjacent university.

In 1964, the school burned down, destroying everything but the cafeteria, and the newer first and second grade wing, a separate building.

RC Edwards was built and opened in 1971, and named for the President of Clemson University.

In 1992 the City of Clemson had proposed that Clemson University become a part of the city.

The university received a plan on joining the city boundaries and, in 1993, decided not to go through with the plan.

After the schools had outgrown their buildings, construction began in 1999 on a new school building on Berkeley Drive.
