http://LakeWylieHomepages.com - The oldest Lake on Catawba River, Catawba Lake, currently one of 11 lakes in the Catawba River chain, was created in 1904 and later renamed after Dr. W. Gil Wylie, one of the co-founders of Catawba Power Co., a predecessor of Duke Energy.

The Buster Boyd Bridge that connects the North and South Carolina side of Lake Wylie was built in 1923, rebuilt in 1961 and widened in 2005. Today, the bridge is home to marinas and The Palisades Boat Club.

In the mid 1900s much of the land on Lake Wylie near what is now The Palisades (see my other post on Palisades and HomeArama 2008 at The Ranch) was largely clear-cut and harvested for timber, and much of the original natural vegetation was lost. Fortunately, reforestation took hold with original species remained intact.

In the late 20th century Lake Wylie became popular as a backyard retreat for Charlotte residents. At that time, Lake Wylie was best known for local recreation and became a favorite spot for boating and some of the Carolina’s best fishing.

As Charlotte emerged as one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country in the 2000s and demand for new homes and land began to surge, Lake Wylie became one of the most popular areas for new construction. Located only minutes from uptown Charlotte on Route 49, Lake Wylie became the area of the most desirable in the region to live and work.

If you looking for an area to relocate to with a mild weather, active lifestyle, and close to urban area and international airport, Lake Wylie must be on your short list of destinations.

  • For Tega Cay, little things like being able to give your keys to the cops so they can check on your house while you are on vacation make a good selling point.
