a town of Spartanburg county, South Carolina, U.S.A., in the N. part of the state. Pop. (1890) 349; (190o) 692. It is served by the Southern railway. In colonial days cattle were rounded up and branded here - whence the name. Seven miles N. of the town is the field of the battle of Cowpens, fought on the 17th of January 1781, during the War of American Independence, between the Americans under Gen. Daniel Morgan and the British under Gen. Banastre Tarleton, the British being defeated. A monument was erected on the battlefield in 1859, but was much defaced during the Civil War. The town of Cowpens was founded in 1876, and was incorporated in 1880.
