Geocache Description:

At this location, you will find a memorial to King Hagler, one of the Catawba Indian’s most praiseworthy chiefs!

King Hagler was the Catawba Indian chief between 1750 and the early 1760s. He was friendly to the English settlers, allowing them to settle in an area heavily populated by the Catawba and other Indian tribes. He was given the title “King” by Governor James Glen in the early 1750s. He negotiated the “Treaty of Pine Tree Hill,” leading to a 15 square mile reservation on the border of NC and SC for the Catawbas. He was killed on August 30, 1763, after being ambushed by Shawnees. A memorial to King Hagler sits at Confederate Park in Fort Mill, SC. For programs and other information call 803-547-2116.
