Settlement was sparse and riddled with disorder, for religion and land were points of contention. The arrival of the surveyor Henry Eustace McCulloh in 1765 sparked a riot and legal debate over who owned the land in Mecklenburg County, eventually leading to the construction of a courthouse in what became Charlotte.

Abstract:
Part 2 of the Story of Charlotte series, \"A Fighting, Trifling Place,\" describes the events in Mecklenburg County from 1770 through the early 1790s. Ideology from Orange and Rowan counties' Regulator Movement causes some riots, but county elites capitalize on the insurrection to reduce colonial taxes and establish Queen's College.

Like many small towns in North Carolina, Shelby, located in Cleveland County, was a thriving mill town until the 1990s. What makes Shelby different, at least according to many current and former residents, is that the town's leaders immediately identified avenues for revitalization. Funding partnerships between private citizens and the local government have preserved old buildings, conserved the town's heritage, and developed museums like the Earl Scruggs Center.
