History and peaches...

Inman is well known for being "The Peach Capital of the World." This title stems from an incident involving the collaboration of peach farmers to ship the entire shipment of produce on a single day. Thus, the town was able to attain the lofty position by shipping more that the entire state of Georgia, "The Peach State", on a single day.

Unfortunately, neighbooring city, Gaffney, usurped the throne by naming itself "The Fresh Peach Capital of the World." The city of Gaffney then built a peach shaped water tower, "the Peachoid."
