The small town of Indian Land in the far north of Lancaster County, South Carolina, owes its name to the fact that it was predominantly inhabited by Native Americans from the Catawba and Waxhaw tribes when European settlers moved to the surrounding areas. This rapidly growing community, considered a suburb of Charlotte, offers quiet country living and is just a short drive away from all the amenities and attractions of nearby Fort Mill and Charlotte. Indian Land is home to Sun City Carolina Lakes, the largest golf club for active adults in the Charlotte region. Residents of Indian Land love the city for its peaceful country life, friendly community, and family-oriented environment. The arrival of Europeans caused a significant decline in the Native American population in South Carolina and throughout the United States.
Despite this, many places are still named after these tribes to demonstrate their important role in the history of South Carolina. Indian Land continues to attract more residents and visitors, and Forbes magazine has highlighted it as one of the most important “booming towns” in the country. Indian Land is a rapidly growing bedroom community, and many people want to live here because of lower housing prices, excellent school systems, lower taxes, and friendly environment.

Indian Land is home to the headquarters of several major companies, including Movement Mortgage, Inspiration Networks, Sharonview Federal Credit Union, Red Ventures and Continental Tire North America. Lancaster County (also called Garden Spot of America) is a county located in north-central South Carolina.
