New Ellenton
South Carolina's Atomic City
Today's Popular Articles and Posts:
New Ellenton has a unique and sentimental history. The people of Ellenton learned in the early 1950’s that their town would be displaced by a massive nuclear weapons complex. The United States Government bought 200,000 acres of land in Aiken and Barnwell Counties for $19 million and built facilities to generate nuclear components for the hydrogen bomb. It was common to see homes, churches or stores traveling down the road on the back of a truck. The Atomic City Festival began in 1972 in remembrance of the 6,000 people whose town was displaced in order to provide national security
A Message From Our Mayor
Greetings,
My name is Vernon Dunbar. I am a lifelong
resident of New Ellenton, some 44 years. I joined the United States Air Force
after graduating from Aiken High School, where I served my country for four
years, after which I returned to New Ellenton. I am employed at Washington
Savannah River Company 20 years and counting. My wife of 17 short years is the
former Elaine Mixon. We have 2 children, Jamar and Shaniqwa Dunbar. Jamar lives
in Columbia, SC and is employed by Michelin Tire Company. Shaniqwa is a
sophomore at Silverbluff High School (Go Bulldogs). Having spent the past 10
years serving the City of New Ellenton as a member of the City Council and also
as a Water Commissioner. I am politically and personally invested in seeing this
community grow and move forward, all the while respecting and honoring the hard
work put forth by those that have gone the same way before me. I am committed to
serving the citizens of New Ellenton and changing the perception that that has
clouded the outlook of many in and around this community. As Mayor, husband,
father and friend, it is my desire to make New Ellenton not only a great place
for the citizens of New Ellenton to live but to make New Ellenton a place others
will want to not only visit but to call home as well.
