Andersonville was a town in Anderson County, South Carolina, that was settled around 1800.

Although it had been a thriving textile and trading community, it suffered from repeated floods and was bypassed by the railroad.

Today the nearest incorporated communities are Hartwell, Georgia, across the lake to the southwest, and Anderson, South Carolina, to the North.

Most of those buried at the cemetery were moved to Andersonville Baptist Church on the eastern shore of the lake.
