During Lee's invasion of the North, Lee needed to find shoes for his poorly shod army. He heard here was a warehouse in Gettysburg and detoured to there. Upon hearing that his troops had made contact with Lee there, Meade determined to take up a strong defensive position across Lee's path that would force Lee to attack him or abandon the invasion.
As an aside, Lee was initially glad that Meade had replaced Pope. He believed there would be confusion with the Army of the Potomac.
