Abstract:
In the last eighteen months Cleveland County has lost 900 jobs, and in January 2001, its unemployment rate topped 8.2 percent. However, an incentives package offered Wal-Mart by Cleveland County and the city of Shelby will soon reverse that. The company will begin construction of a huge distribution center in 2001. When completed in 2002, the center will employ 500. It is Cleveland County's largest industrial expansion in forty years.

Abstract:
Encompassing some 466 square miles and ranging in altitude from 800 to 3000 feet, Cleveland County has a long history as an agricultural region specializing in cotton. Shifting to a more industrial and modernized region after the arrival of the railroad, Cleveland remains inhabited by a fairly conservative population. Known for having a strongly secessionist population during the 19th-century, Cleveland contributed some 2,035 troops to the Confederate cause.
