Even before 1730, the fork in the Cherokee Path 96 miles south of Keowee was called Ninety Six. There a trading post operated, a fort was built, and a courthouse town was established. The first land battle of the Revolutionary War was fought there on Nov. 19-20, 1775, and Gen. Nathanael Greene besieged the British in Star Fort there from May 22-June 20, 1781.
