A Slice of Heaven in Upstate South Carolina

Walhalla could very well live up to its name it was given by the German immigrants that started this great town. I always think of how interchangeable the words Valhalla and Walhalla can be since Valhalla means "Garden of the Gods" and Walhalla is a slice of heaven on earth in Upstate South Carolina!

Walhalla is in Oconee County in Upstate South Carolina. It is the county seat of Oconee county. It is located 16 miles from Clemson University. The population was 3,801 at the 2000 census and actually decreased to 3,647 in 2007. Walhalla covers 3.71 square miles but refers to a larger area than just within the city limits.

While much of the original German influence is gone, the town hosts the annual Oktoberfest which I highly recommend for the entire family believe it or not. And it will be here again before you know it!

Walhalla is a great place to live, whether you are raising a family or wanting to enjoy retirement. With a great climate that features all 4 seasons, close proximity to all of the beauty of Oconee county and the excitement of Clemson University sporting events, Walhalla is a great town. So check out the Oktoberfest and the shops downtown and see if you do not agree that Walhalla South Carolina is a slice of heaven on earth.
