Geography

Inman is located at 35°2′51″N 82°5′25″W / 35.04750°N 82.09028°W / 35.04750; -82.09028 (35.047493, -82.090329).[7] The city lies just north of Spartanburg, and a few miles south of the North Carolina-South Carolina border.

The city's historic district lies along South Carolina Highway 292 just north of its intersection with U.S. Route 176 (which passes along the southwestern edge of the city).

Climate

Inman is located in the Upstate region of South Carolina. The weather is temperate year-round, due to its location in the Isothermal Belt, a phenomenon that results when warmer air on the western side of the Appalachian Mountains blows over the mountains, leaving a 60-mile-wide (97 km) trough where significant temperature inversions of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or greater can occur.[8]
