Indian Land, South Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indian Land is a fast-growing unincorporated area in the northern neck of Lancaster County, South Carolina (also called the Panhandle) just south of Ballantyne, Charlotte (in south Charlotte) and east of Fort Mill, SC. Its proximity to Ballantyne has enabled Indian Land to be a desirable place to live. It is also fast becoming a bedroom community of Charlotte, NC.
The area is expanding immensely, with many housing developments (i.e. Bridgehampton, Legacy Park, Sun City Carolina Lakes), as well as corporate parks, being constructed.
Schools in Indian Land include Indian Land Elementary/Middle School and Indian Land High School. These schools were once not very strong, but since the recent mass movement of families to the area, Indian Land schools have seen rapid improvement. Indian Land High School recently won state recognition for being a "Red Carpet School" [1].
U.S. Highway 521 and SC state road 160 are two major roads that run through Indian Land. With such busy roads bisecting this area, and major growth taking place now, there as been talk of Indian Land incorporating. However, incorporation would not happen for several years, according to the Fort Mill Times. [2].
