Davidson County Celebrates 200 Years!

Davidson County Celebrates 200 Years!

2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of Davidson County, North Carolina.

This historic milestone is an opportunity to explore Davidson County’s rich 200-year history, and beyond.

Throughout 2022, The Davidson County Bicentennial Committee will be planning many fun and wonderful events all over the county.

On June 20th, 2022 Mayor Raleigh York proclaimed the year 2022 “The Davidson County Bicentennial Year”.

Our present Davidson County, North Carolina, was created by act of the Legislature on November 29, 1822 out of Rowan County, but not with the same boundaries that we know today. The act establishing Davidson County was amended in 1834 and further amended in 1836 resulting in the establishment of the Yadkin River as the dividing line between Davidson and Rowan Counties, thus ceding the elongated triangle of Rowan County on the east side of the river to Davidson County. The county’s boundaries were further changed on two subsequent occasions. In 1889 the northwest corner was annexed to Forsyth County. This is the Clemmonsville area which today comprises some of the most valuable real estate in Forsyth County.
