Tega Cay

In 1970 ground was broken 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. First they
built the roads and the huge clubhouse, pools, tennis courts and golf course.  Then
house construction began, and a guard gate was installed at the entrance. The
Polynesian theme was carried out everywhere, from street names to home design
to the clubhouse décor and even the guard shack.  So began Tega Cay.

Here are a couple of websites with public information.
