In 1888, this area was named
Piedmont—meaning 'Foot of the Mountains,’ which was pleasing to the people who
enjoyed being nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range
surrounded with the scenic beauty of mountains and streams. The City of
Piedmont has prime real estate as well as the infrastructure necessary for
industrial and commercial growth. This area is home to the Chief Ladiga Trail
and Terrapin Creek, perfect for any outdoor adventurer, with the Pinhoti Trail
not very far away. For more information, visit www.piedmontcity.org.
