If you have questions or comments or concerns, please contact City Hall or one of the City Council Members. 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 fa

cilities 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. Today the City of New Ellenton is stronger than ever and we look forward to serving you!
