1872 - Town of Pineville

Before the railroad came through in 1852, the little village was known simply as Morrow's Turnout. Now, the town south of Charlotte is incorporated as Pineville. In 1903, it will have a cotton mill. By 1960 it will be the only area within Mecklenburg County still producing a significant amount of cotton.
