Lost towns of Lake Murray: How a town was flooded in South Carolina
Lost towns lie beneath the waters of Lake Murray in South Carolina.
But one time, that area was known as the Saluda River Valley. It was settled in the 1750's by German, Swiss, and Dutch immigrants, with two major towns: Dutch Fork and Saxe Gotha.
But those towns are no more, they were buried in water after SCE&G bought the land, creating the lake. The towns were both flooded, all but erased from history. All that remains now are remnants of a past that few people alive know little about.
