Description
Around 1736, Welsh Baptists came to South Carolina and settled in the Pee Dee region. Some sources date Welsh settlement in the Cheraw area as about 1752. In 1766, Eli Kershaw, who had been given a grant of land along the Pee Dee River, laid out the town of Cheraw. It was incorporated in 1820. Included as part of the historic district, First Methodist is a white frame meeting house in colonial style with four unfluted Doric columns supporting a portico. Source: NRHP
