Prince's Fort
From Warlike
Fort Prince was built in Spartanburg County, South Carolina for protection against the Cherokee Indians. It was near the residence of a Mr. Prince. Fort Prince was the general rallying point in times of danger when the people of the settlement sought safety. Just in front was a creek for their washing. Nearby stood a mill which ground corn, later known as Grays Mill. There was a Battle of Fort Prince during the American Revolutionary War, when Edward Hampton drove the British from the fort on July 15, 1780, and it stood for several years after.
