Abstract:
When night-wandering dogs threatened the lives of David P. Dellinger's chickens, he appealed to the General Assembly to make Dellview a town in 1925 so that the residents could legally shoot the trespassing dogs. Eighty-five-year-old Mrs. J. Henry Dellinger was named mayor of 52-acre Dellview at its founding, and has been the only mayor the town has ever had. The current eight residents, all family of the mayor, have no intention of expanding their little town, either in size or population.

Abstract:
What happened to Belmont was common in many Southern states: the loss of mills due to factors such as outsourcing. This small city survived losing its former occupational and economic lifeblood by mill buildings becoming condos, apartments, and retail outlets; capitalizing on its proximity to Charlotte; a generous infusion of Millennial aged entrepreneurial spirit.
