Creation
The Atlantic and French Broad Valley was created in 1878 by an act that changed the name of the Belton, Williamston and Easley Railroad. The Belton, Williamston and Easley was a railroad intended to serve the South Carolina Upstate region, specifically to connect Belton, South Carolina, and Easley, South Carolina. No such line was ever actually constructed.
Consolidation
The Atlantic and French Broad River was consolidated with the Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Railroad in 1882 to form the French Broad and Atlantic Railway.
