About Walhalla, SC

Named for Valhalla, the afterlife in Norse Mythology where warriors would go if selected to fight during Ragnarök, Walhalla began as a settlement of German immigrants who left from Hamburg, Germany and Bavaria with some English, Scots and Irish who came over in the same ship. In particular, General John A. Wagener, Claus Bullwinkel, John C. Henckel, Jacob Schroder, and Christopher F. Seeba (trustees of the German Colonization Society of Charleston) bought 17,859 acres (72.27 km 2) of land for $27,000 from Reverend Joseph Grisham of West Union on December 24, 1849.
