Return to Index History & History Related Items Cheraw history: Here is a History page for Cheraw. The earliest settlements in the area were those of the Cheraw and Pee Dee Indians. Though once thriving cultures, they gradually died out from disease or were absorbed into other tribes in neighboring areas. Two of the first settlers of European descent to come were James Gillespie and Thomas Ellerbe who came about 1740. They began a trading center and water mill at the Cheraw Hills. Joseph and Eli Kershaw came in 1750 and formally laid out the town after being granted some of what is now the town of Cheraw. They named the town Chatham after the Earl of Chatham, Williams Pitt, but the name never gained complete acceptance with most residents choosing the long-standing name of Cheraw or Cheraw Hill. The name of Cheraw was made official in 1820 when the town was incorporated.
