This area, first held by Wateree and Catawba Indiands, was laid out as Fredericksburg Township in 1733. Here on the Catawba Path the trading town of Pine Tree Hill was settled. In 1769 courts were set up and the town named Camden in honor of Lord Camden, friend of the colonies. During the Revolution Camden was the center of British activity in this region. It was incorporated in 1791.
