Six Mile is located between Clemson, Central, Pickens, Seneca and Liberty. The area once belonged to the Cherokee Nation. A popular legend says that Six Mile was named by the Indian maiden, Issaqueena, who rode her horse on a journey of ninety-six miles to warn her lover, an English trader named Francis Allen, of a coming Cherokee attack on the fort where he was staying called Star Fort. This tale is similar to many of Six Mile's other legendary events in that it stresses courage, bravery, ingenuity and determination.
