It lies 10.2 miles west-south-west of Mauldin, SC (from Mauldin, SC: bearing 239°T), and is situated 7.1 miles south-south-west of Gantt.

Creeks, slender as silver ribbons, meander through stands of oak and hickory, their banks often softened by a mossy carpet that seems to hold the quiet murmur of generations. The character of Piedmont is one of steady, unassuming endurance, a place where the land dictates a pace that is neither rushed nor entirely still, but a comfortable, consistent cadence that resonates with the lives lived upon it. The history of Piedmont is a story deeply intertwined with the textile mills that once hummed with industrious life, their brick edifices now standing as quiet monuments to a bygone era. The Saluda River, a vital artery of this region, once powered these mills and continues to offer a serene beauty, its waters reflecting the ever-changing sky. While the dominance of textiles has waned, a spirit of resilience endures, with local businesses and a commitment to community shaping the current economic landscape. It is a place where the past is not forgotten but rather a subtle undercurrent, informing the present character of Piedmont as a community that values its heritage while looking toward a future shaped by the enduring strength of its people and the quiet beauty of its Carolina setting.
