Dating back to the 1700s, Waxhaw is one of the oldest towns in Union County, taking its name from the Waxhaws (originally called the Wysacky), an Indian tribe that once inhabited the area. When chartered in 1889, Waxhaw established its rightful place as the third oldest town in Union County. With a population of over 20,534 people, Waxhaw has managed to maintain its small town charm and yet continue to achieve quality growth.
