Fort Mill and Tega Cay are situated close together, southwest of Charlotte, North Carolina
at the North Carolina and South Carolina border.  Fort Mill, established in 1873, is home to approximately 35,000 people in the Town and Township.    It takes its name from the nearby area of Charlotte, known as Steele Creek’s Grist Mill.  Home to the Catawba Indians for many years, they welcomed Thomas Spratt and his family as the first settlers in the mid 1700’s.  Fort Mill grew rapidly in the 1800’s as textile mills were established. 

Tega Cay is a planned community of nearly 4000 residents.  It is situated west of Fort Mill
on over three square miles of Lake Wylie peninsula, and is filled with recreational facilities.  Its hilly terrain is densely forested with the Carolina pines seen throughout both states.

The two towns have a wonderful relationship.  Students in Fort Mill and Tega Cay attend Fort Mill schools, which are considered the best in the state and residents of the communities have wholly adopted the spirit of friendliness and hospitality of its original residents.

It is in that same spirit and with pride that My Carolina Town was created…
