"Golden Strip" is an informal collective title used to describe the South Carolina cities of Fountain Inn, Simpsonville, and Mauldin. The term was first used in 1953 because of the water installments added to the three cities that year. Several establishments in the cities borrowed the term "Golden Strip" in their titles. These include:
