History

The Chiquola textile mill was very important in Honea Path’s early development. On September 6, 1934, management perpetrated the Chiquola Mill Massacre against workers taking part in a general textile strike. Textile factory guards killed six picketers and injured approximately thirty 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 .

The Obediah Shirley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
