Nestled along the shores of Lake Wylie, Tega Cay boasts a rich history woven with charm and community spirit. The name "Tega Cay," meaning "Beautiful Peninsula" in Polynesian, aptly reflects the area’s picturesque setting and unique geography. Founded in the late 1970s as a planned community, Tega Cay quickly became a haven for those seeking lakeside living and outdoor recreation. Its roots trace back to visionary developers who saw the potential of transforming the land into a vibrant residential enclave, complete with parks, golf courses, and waterfront access.
