Lancaster

Lancaster County was formed in 1798 from the old Camden District. Many of the early settlers here were from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. That area was named for the region in England of the same name. This was the same Lancaster with the symbol of the red rose that had opposed the House of York in England in the War of the Roses. Prior to the European settlement in the 1750’s this area was settled by the Catawba Indians. The Indian paths that crossed through this area were important routes for the early settlers and in some cases current roads follow their trail. The Rocky River Road followed one such path and today SC Highway 522 follows it fairly closely.
