A gold rush in the 1790s brought people to an area in North
Carolina known as White Plains. With the promise of prosperity from
the gold rush and an abundance of land suitable for farming, the
area was soon settled by Scotch-Irish and German pioneers. As the
railroad was being built, officials asked the local postmistress to
name the new railroad station. She chose Kings Mountain, after the
Revolutionary War battle fought eight miles south. Over time, Kings
Mountain has flourished with industries, churches, education, and
cultural institutions while the friendly, hardworking residents
have found success in the mines and textile mills. Kings Mountain
looks back over 100 years of the city's residents as they work,
study, worship, play, and celebrate their heritage.
