When the first settlers arrived in the valleys
of the lower Piedmont, they found lush meadows, streams and
hills crowned with trees suitable for cabin building. From
overseas and the northern states of Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Delaware came the Scotch-Irish in large numbers. The native
Catawba Indians were friendly to the few white families who
moved in among them. The new families stayed busy cutting
down trees and setting up cabins, burning acreage for crop
planting and organizing the two most important social functions
of any settlement, the meeting house and the local still.
The 360-acre community of Charlotte moved to incorporate a
regular town government and an eventual county seat. On May
20, 1775, it is said, Charlotte patriots defied the wrath
of the English King and signed a Declaration of Independence.
