From Textile Mill to Healthcare Hub

THE FACTS ARE: One location. More than 135 years of Spartanburg history. Still helping shape the community today.

The story of Beaumont Mill is not simply about what was lost or what was built. It’s the story of a community adapting over time, preserving its history while finding new ways to create jobs, housing, healthcare services and community connections for future generations.

For more than a century, Beaumont Mill helped power Spartanburg’s economy. Built in 1890, the mill employed generations of workers and served as the center of a thriving mill village. At its peak, Beaumont was part of the textile industry that helped shape Spartanburg County’s identity and growth.

Today, the same site tells a different chapter of Spartanburg’s story.

The former mill now serves as the administrative headquarters for Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, supporting hundreds of healthcare professionals and employees. The surrounding area continues to evolve through new housing, trail connections and community investment.
