Olde English District

Olde English District
Not to be confused with Old English District.

The Olde English District is a region of South Carolina encompassing Chester, Chesterfield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, and York counties as well as the cities and towns of Camden, Chester, Chesterfield, Clover, Kershaw, Lancaster, Pageland, Rock Hill, Winnsboro, and York

The district is believed by certain writers not to be a historical one, but a tourism device. Hence the anachronistic spelling of 'old' and the inaccurate use of the Union Flag as a logo, which would conventionally refer to British rather than English things. It is considered to be named after the large number of English immigrants, such as the cassiques of the Johnson-Stanton family of York and in the 1770s the region was the site of several battles in the American War of Independence. This district also includes the area known as the Battle of Kings Mountain.
