This listing is NOT a foreclosure. Property DescrriptionRowan County is a county located in the U.S. state of North Carolina and formed in 1753 as part of the British Province of North Carolina. While originally a vast territory with unlimited western boundaries, its size was reduced to 524 square miles after several counties were formed from Rowan County in the 18th and 19th century. As of the 2010 census, the population was 138,428.[1] Its county seat, Salisbury, is the oldest continuously populated town in western North Carolina.[2] Rowan County is located northeast of Charlotte and it is considered part of the metropolitan area.HistoryThe first Europeans to enter what is now Rowan County were the members of the Spanish expedition of Juan Pardo in 1567. They established a fort and a mission in the native village of Guatari, believed to be located near the Yadkin River and inhabited by the Wateree. At the time, the area was ruled by a female chief whom the Spaniards called Guatari Mico (Mico was the Wateree's term for chief). The Spaniards called the village Salamanca in honor of the city of Salamanca in western Spain, and established a mission, headed by a secular priest named Sebastin Montero. Pardo returned to Spain in 1568,[3] and the Native Americans massacred all but one soldier at the six forts Pardo had established in the interior. The Spanish never returned to the area.[4][5]English colonial settlement of North Carolina came decades later, starting with the coastal areas, the settlers moving south from Virginia. Explorers and fur traders were the first to reach the Piedmont, paving the way for eventual settlers. Rowan County was formed in 1753 from the northern part of Anson County. It was named for Matthew Rowan, acting governor of North Carolina from 1753 to 1754. It was intended to incorporate all of the lands of the Granville District that had been included in Anson County.[6]As was typical of the time, Rowan County was originally a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. Reductions in the county's size began in 1770, when the eastern porton was combined with the western part of Orange County to form Guilford County. In 1771 the northeastern portion of what was left became Surry County. In 1777 the western part of Rowan County became Burke County.[7]After the American Revolutionary War, in 1788 the western portion of the now much smaller Rowan County was organized as Iredell County, and in 1822 the eastern part became Davidson County. Finally, in 1836 that part of Rowan County north of the South Yadkin River became Davie County and Rowan County was reduced to its present size.[7]The county has worked to attract new industries since much of the textile industry moved offshore in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The "250 Fest", celebrating the 250th anniversary of Rowan County, was held in 2003.[8]Racial tensionRowan County was developed for cotton cultivation and mixed farming in the antebellum period. Cotton continued as a commodity crop for some time. Following Reconstruction, there was continuing change in the county, with industrialization following the construction of railways and textile mills here and elsewhere in the Piedmont. Urban populations increased. A total of six lynchings of African Americans were recorded here in this period, which extended into the early 20th century. This was the second-highest total in the state, a number of extrajudicial murders that two other counties also had.[9]At the turn of the 20th century, the state had passed a new constitution in 1868 and later laws erecting barriers to voter registration that effectively disenfranchised most blacks, ending their political progress for decades, after African Americans had been elected to Congress from this state and there had been a Republican-Populist fusionist slate. Both governors Charles Aycock and Robert Glenn, elected in 1900 and 1904, respectively, ran campaigns to appeal to whites. It was not until after passage of civil rights legislation that most African American recovered the ability to vote; they had never lost their constitutional right as citizens.[10]The racial terrorism of lynchings enforced white suppression of African Americans. In 1902 brothers James and Harrison Gillespie, aged 11 (eleven) and 13 (thirteen), were lynched by a white mob for allegedly killing a young white woman working in a field.[10] In August 1906, six African-American men were arrested as suspects in the murder of a farm family. That evening, a white mob stormed the county jail in Salisbury, freeing all the white prisoners, interrogating the black ones, and taking out Jack Dillingham, Nease Gillespie, and his son John. The mob hanged the three men from a tree in a field, mutilated and tortured them, and shot them numerous times.[10Whats Happening in Rowan?Rowan County Fair, A Rich HistoryFor over 65 years our friends, family and community have flocked to the fair in Rowan County.In 1951 a group of Jaycees saw the need to establish a permanent facility for the agriculture community to show their ware. They also believed it would be a terrific educational experience for children in grades 1 through 12. Dave Clay, Henry Bernhardt and John Fisher headed up the project along with many others.Ten Jaycees from Salisbury signed a bank note for $50,000 to get the project started. Dave Clay was named first Fair Manager, serving from 1954-1965. He was followed by Ligon Gillespie (1966-1972), Charles Roakes, Jr. (1973-1976), and Eric Ennis (1977-2007). John Love is currently the Fair Manager. A list of those serving with Mr. Love is available below.Many local fire departments and civic groups help construct the fairgrounds. Among these were Locke, Liberty and Miller Ferry Fire departments, Salisbury Optimist and Millbridge Ruritans. They manned a food booth for years; raising a major source of income they distributed within the community. Fairgoers still talk about the former Chicken & Dumplings served by these volunteers in previous years.Property Details: Status: Under contract awaiting saleSale Price: $ 39,838.42State: North CarolinaCounty: RowanClosest Community/City To The Property: Concord, NCAPN (Assessor's Parcel Number): 026366Size: 0.5 acresShort Legal: Parcel ID # 026366Zoning: Residential-Vacant LandTerrain: flat dirt and grassRoad Access: Yes - Dirt and shrubbery surrounded by pavementElectricity: Unknown - Please contact Rowan County Zoning and Planning (704) 216- 8588Water: Unknown - Please contact Rowan County Zoning and Planning (704) 216-8588Sewer: Unknown - Please contact Rowan County Zoning and Planning (704) 216-8588
