Tega Cay: Planned Peninsula Community on Lake Wylie
Tega Cay occupies a peninsula on the south shore of Lake Wylie in York County, directly on the state line with North Carolina. The name comes from Polynesian words meaning "beautiful peninsula," chosen by the developer who acquired the property in the 1970s. The community was planned as a residential development around a golf course and marina, and most of its housing stock dates to the 1980s and later.
Lake Wylie was formed in 1904 by the construction of Wylie Dam on the Catawba River, one of the earliest hydroelectric dams in the Carolinas. The lake straddles the state line and serves as a cooling source for Duke Energy's Catawba Nuclear Station. Tega Cay's waterfront dominates the community's recreational amenities, with docks, boating access, and lakeside homes making up much of the housing stock.
Population grew from near zero in 1980 to more than 9,000, and Tega Cay functions as part of the Charlotte metropolitan area. Residents commute primarily to Charlotte and to Rock Hill. The city operates its own school district arrangement through the Fort Mill School District.
