York
York County, SC was formed in 1785 as a part of the Camden District, in 1791 it became a part of the Pinckney District and finally was seperate in 1800 when the Pinckney district was abolished. The area was originally inhabited by the Catawba Indians, until a treaty in 1763 gave the Catawba’s land to the colonists. Today, the Catawba’s are the only federally recognized Indian tribe in the state of South Carolina. The Battle of Kings Mountain in the Revolutionary War was fought within the boundaries of the current York County, as was the battle of Williamsons Plantation. (Both of these were in 1780.)
York County, SC was named for York County Pennsylvania. In 1897, Cherokee County was formed from part of York County, SC.
