Pendleton is a historic town in Anderson County, South Carolina, United States, located in the northwestern part of the state, about 30 miles from the city of Greenville. The town is known for its well-preserved 19th century architecture and deep cultural heritage.
Founded in 1790, Pendleton is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina. The town center is home to more than 50 historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Pendleton Borough Historical Museum, built in 1826. The town is also known for the Pendleton Farmstead National Historic Landmark, which showcases a unique look at an early farming community.
Each spring, Pendleton hosts the famous Pendleton Spring Festival, which attracts a large number of visitors who come to experience traditional crafts, music and food. The town is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and is close to the Savannah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts to hike and fish.

Its tranquil atmosphere and rich historical heritage make it a highly sought-after residential and tourist destination in the Upcountry region of South Carolina.
Dikodougou is a town in the Savanes region of northern Côte d'Ivoire, located in the central-northern part of the country, about 600 kilometers from the economic capital Abidjan. It has a savannah climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons, and a predominantly agricultural economy, with important production areas for cashew nuts, cotton and maize.
As an important transportation node connecting the north and center of Côte d'Ivoire, Decodougou has a typical inland West African townscape, with a predominantly Malinke and Senoufo population, preserving traditional village culture and handicraft traditions. The local agricultural economy has gradually improved in recent years with the development of the cashew nut industry, but the infrastructure is still relatively weak.
The area is surrounded by several nature reserves and waterfall landscapes, with potential for ecotourism development. The weekly open-air market in Dikodougou is an important window into local folklore and agricultural trade, providing a realistic picture of rural life in West Africa.
