The suburban town of Waxhaw is named for the Waxhaws (also spelled Wysacky) Native Americans, the original inhabitants of this area for hundreds of years before European settlement. Juan Pardo, a Spanish conquistador, first recorded European contact with the Waxhaws in 1567 while on a mission to establish military bases throughout the southeastern portion of the United States. In 1711, the Waxhaw assisted European colonists living in North Carolina in fighting the Tuscarora Native American tribe. This led to the Tuscaroras Iroquoian, a powerful Native American confederacy comprised of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca, conducting frequent raids on the Waxhaw. In 1715, the Waxhaw tribe was all but wiped out when they joined the Yamasee tribe in a war against the South Carolina Catawba tribe and their allies. In the mid-18th century, the area once inhabited by the dwindling Waxhaw was eventually occupied by German and Scots-Irish settlers, who were mostly subsistence farmers and very independent. In 1767, Andrew Jackson, the seventh President, was born in the area of modern-day Waxhaw. In the late 1880s, a railroad line was established through Waxhaw, connecting the town to the markets in Atlanta, Georgia. This long, rich history is only one of the many things that make Waxhaw a great place to call home.
