The City of Tega Cay is located in northern York County, South Carolina, along the shores of Lake Wylie and the Catawba River. In 1970 the Ervin Company broke ground on 1,600 wooded acres of land on Lake Wylie previously owned by Duke Power Company. They named the area Tega Cay, which means “beautiful peninsula” in Polynesian.
Tega Cay is growing in population and size. The city has annexed several parcels of land recently and new home developments are under construction or are in the planning stages.
