Pelzer? Man, talk about scary! Would that be Pelzer or WEST PELZER?
For all you foreigners that was meant as a joke.....Its an insider joke to be sure and one that gets all kinds of reactions in this area.
Years ago folks in the town of Pelzer had a bit of a disagreement. This town was founded like so many others in the south. It was a mill village. There was and still is the Upper Mill Hill and the Lower Mill Hill. The rivalry between the two areas extended as far as the kids of each section.
Some folks in Pelzer wanted to incorporate their part of town, while the rest had no desire for becoming a "town". This led to the incorporation of West Pelzer. Those folks now have their own police officer on a part time basis!
This small town is literally divided by the railroad tracks and since the split the folks in the surrounding area have made a point of asking the residents of both sections which "Pelzer" they live in.......
