Scotchman John Craig, Esq. emigrated with his family from Northern Ireland to the Waxhaws in 1772 and began Craig Farm in 1773. John Craig, Jr. gave the land for Shiloh A.R. Presbyterian Church in 1821. Craig House was built by Nathaniel Craig about 1825 and was occupied by Union troops in April 1865. After John Edgar and Amanda Drennan Craig were wed at Kilburnie on North White St. in 1883, they added the Victorian front to Craig House in 1901. The house was restored in 1990, and the rear and north wings are early 21st Century additions. The house has been continuously occupied by members of the Craig family since its construction and was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
