Pumpkintown is an unincorporated community in Pickens County, South Carolina, on State Highway 8 northwest of Greenville.
The community was settled before 1791, and was originally called "Pumpkin Town", named by an anonymous early traveler who was impressed at seeing the nearby Oolenoy River valley covered with large yellow pumpkins.
