The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The region was occupied by the Pedee people, part of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture, from about 980 to 1150 CE. They built the earthwork platform mound and other structures at Town Creek Indian Mound, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and is 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Mount Gilead. It is the only Native American site in the state to be designated as a national landmark. In the 21st century, the Pee Dee people are based in South Carolina, where the state has recognized several bands as tribes.
