Abstract:

A small Piedmont region settled in 1750 and formally established in 1836, Davie County began as a distillery province. Establishing itself as one of the top dairy producers in the state, yielding revenues of nearly $3,000,000 annually, Davie County is slowly changing into an industrialized community. With farmers taking on second jobs and more land holders dividing up their plots, Davie residents are becoming more versatile earners and increasing advancement across the 285 square miles encompassing the district.
