Abstract:
Mecklenburg County is the home of the first steel mill in North Carolina. The Florida Steel Corporation built the mill in 1962, constructing the mill outside of Charlotte and close to the Davidson railroad station. The Florida Steel Corporation employed 250 workers in two shifts at the facility to allow for the mill to run continuously. The Mecklenburg steel mill produced subway railway bars and reinforcement rods en masse as the mill generated fifty thousand tons of steel products last year.
