Cross Keys, South Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cross Keys is an unincorporated community in Union County, South Carolina, United States.[1] Historically, it was the site of the "large and prosperous" Cross Keys plantation.[2] A post office was established at Cross Keys in 1809 and operated until 1909.[2][3]
The Cross Keys House, a plantation home built in 1812–1814, stood at the intersection of two important early highways (the Old Charleston Road, now known as Old Buncombe Road, and Old Ninety-Six Road, also known as the Old Piedmont Stage Road) and was a stop for early travelers in the area. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] Also listed is Padgett's Creek Baptist Church.
