 Interdenominational from the beginning, the local Rock Springs Camp Meeting grows out of these early meetings and traces its history to 1794 when Daniel Asbury, William McKendree (who would become a bishop), William Fulwood and James Hall, a Presbyterian, held the first gathering near present-day Rehobeth Church in Terrell.Most of the land that these Europeans claimed had long been the home of the Catawba and Cherokee people.Indeed, the Catawba River in this part of North Carolina acted as a border between the two nations who were often at odds with each other.
