Kings Creek, South Carolina

Kings Creek (or King's Creek) is an unincorporated community in Cherokee County, South Carolina, United States.[1] It is located in the vicinity of South Carolina Highways 5 and 97. Situated nearby is the NRHP-designated King's Creek Furnace Site.[2] The name of the community comes from a local settler named King who lived close to the locale on the namesake Kings Creek.[3]

The settlement has a history of mining operations and represents the former Kings Creek Mining District, which held deposits of iron and copper sulfides.[4] South of Kings Creek sits a historic gold mine bearing the locality's name.[5] Railways have also seen historic prominence in the area, and the hamlet exists as the western terminus of the Triple C Rail Trail.[6] Near Kings Creek remains a railroad line formerly operated by the Carolina Coastal Railway.[7]
