Abstract:

Founded on the cotton industry in the early 1800s, the town of Matthews, population 13,000, began life as Stumptown. It is a town proud of its sense of community and of its keeping its identify in the rapidly growing Charlotte area. Currently a number of improvement projects are underway, including revitalizing the business district and turning the old high school into a community center.
