In 1766-67, South Carolina and North Carolina negotiated with the Cherokee to establish a boundary between Indian land to the west and new settlement to the east. This north-south line ran past this point to North Carolina and on to Virginia. In South Carolina it ran north from near present-day Honea Path, crossed the Reedy River near present-day Princeton, and ended at the South Carolina-North Carolina line. The Cherokee ceded all land east of the 1767 line to the colonies of South Carolina and North Carolina. In 1786, when South Carolina created its first counties, the line from the Reedy River to the South Carolina-North Carolina line south of Tryon, North Carolina, was the boundary for Greenville County between both Spartanburg and Laurens Counties. In 1793 the Greenville boundary shifted east to accommodate new settlers south of the Enoree River.
