History of the town

Incorporated in 1873, Huntersville is located 12 miles north of uptown Charlotte. Huntersville was named in honor of major landowner and cotton farmer, Robert Boston Hunter. In the early days, Huntersville was a farming community with large plantations where cotton was grown by farmers. Huntersville was also home to The Virgin Manufacturing Company, a cotton mill, which stimulated development on the east side of the railroad tracks in downtown Huntersville.
