Cornelius Town History

The town of Cornelius, the second youngest of Mecklenburg County's sixincorporated towns, was founded in 1893 but not incorporated until March 4, 1905.The Town's origin has been traced by many historians to a dispute over cottonweighing.

In the late 1800's, two thriving cotton firms located in Davidson disagreed onwhether an official town cotton weigher should be appointed. After a heatedelection was held and legislation enacted, a town cotton weigher was hired and thefirm which opposed the appointment decided to relocate much of its operations justsouth of the Davidson town limits.

Frequently after heavy rains, the road connecting Davidson and (soon-to-be)Cornelius would become impassible. The hill leading into Davidson would becomeso muddy that many cotton farmers found it safer and more convenient to conducttheir business just south of Davidson in a small frame building. The success of thecotton purchasing business later inspired the owners to construct a cotton millwhere raw cotton could be converted into cloth. The owners of the cotton firmlacked the needed money to make theidea of a cotton mill a reality, butthey knew who could provide thefinancial backing. Joseph BenjaminCornelius (1833-1914) supplied theneeded investment and the mill wasopened. Although the Town wasoriginally incorporated as 'Liverpool',the Town's name was soon changedto Cornelius to honor J.B. Corneliuswho was the principal stockholder inthe cotton mill.

The damming of the Catawba Riverto create Lake Norman was asinfluential as the cotton industry tothe town's development and growth.In 1963 Duke Power created LakeNorman and provided the area with recreational opportunities and a source ofhydroelectric power. The formation of Lake Norman also provided the area withchoice lakeside property.

History of Charlotte, North CarolinaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlotte is the largest city in the state of North Carolina and the seat ofMecklenburg County. In 2009, Charlotte's population was estimated to be 716,874,making it the 19th largest city in the United States. A resident of Charlotte isreferred to as a Charlottean.

Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte (as well as the county containing it) is namedin honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had becomequeen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding.

A second nickname derives from later in the 18th century. During the AmericanRevolutionary War, British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but wasdriven out soon afterwards by hostile residents, prompting him to write thatCharlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion," leading to another city nickname: TheHornet's Nest.
