Early Charleston Road
This road largely followed the Catawba Path (1698). Widened by Public Act, 1753, and called "The Great Charleston Road," it joined that city with Camden and "The Back Country." Over it came Indians, pack-animals laden with hides, drovers, rolled hogsheads of produce, wagoners, and stagecoaches. The armies of two wars passed over it. Like other main roads, it has often been called "The King's Highway."
Marker is at the intersection of North King’s Highway (State Road 261) and U.S. 76, on the right when traveling south on North King’s Highway.
