A Window on the Past
Before the arrival of European settlers, the land that was to become Laurens County formed the heart of the hunting grounds of the Cherokee and other Native Americans. An ancient agreement between the Cherokees and the Catawbas set aside the central piedmont as a wildlife hunting territory with neither tribe being allowed to build many permanent settlements in the area.
When European settlers entered the area, they found a virtual Eden of flora and fauna.
