Indian Land Homes for Sale

The unincorporated community of Indian Land is nestled in a part of Lancaster County and considered to be a part of the Panhandle. Though it is located in South Carolina, it is a major suburb of Charlotte, twenty miles south of Uptown. Indian Land is connected to Charlotte and the greater Lancaster County area by U.S. Highway 521. It initially earned its name from the fact that the Catawba and Waxhaw Native Americans continued to populate the area after Europeans had settled the surrounding region. The Catawba and Waxhaw had occupied much of the area surrounding modern-day Indian Land for hundreds if not thousands of years. Today, Lancaster County is designated as a part of their historic tribal land. In the 1750s, the first Anglo-Europeans established settlements between Twelve Mile Creek and Rum Creek. Most of the early settlers were Scots-Irish from Pennsylvania, while others came from the North Carolina and Virginia backcountry. Indian Land has been home to a few notable people, such as Mick Mulvaney (politician), Brad Calhoun (politician), Eric Martineau (world record holder), and Shawn Crawford (sprinter).
