History Buster Boyd Bridge I William Monroe "Buster" Boyd, was an influential Mecklenburg County politician from Steele Creek. Boyd lobbied Mecklenburg County Commissioners for a hard-surfaced road to be built from Charlotte to what was then known as Lake Catawba.

During its construction the bridge was referred to as York-Mecklenburg Bridge but upon completion was named in honor of Boyd, who donated the access land on the North Carolina side. The original Buster Boyd Bridge was built at a cost of $120,000, with Mecklenburg County paying two-thirds of the cost and York County, South Carolina paying the remaining one-third.
