Abstract:

With the immigration of thousands of Germans, Scotch-Irish, Welsh, English, and Huguenot to western North Carolina, the northern portion of Anson County was cut off to form Rowan County. In the 1750s, the court of Rowan began administering for the new county. In 1755, the town of Salibury was formally created when a 635 acre grant was made to James Carter. Carter played a prominent role in the establishment of Salisbury not only as a deputy surveyor and trustee, but also as justice of the peach and register of deeds.
