“…facts of history, biography, and achievement, supplemented by priceless data gleaned from old
documents, manuscripts, local tradition, and the personal recollections of many who have since
been gathered to their fathers…”
“Printed weekly from the galley proofs of the current newspaper article, on common material, and filed away to be later bound into
book form, the first edition was of necessity limited, and was exhausted years ago. In presenting the second edition, the publishers
hope to supply a long-felt want. The contents have not been built anew ; in a few instances only, supplemental facts have been
incorporated, and the past linked with the present through the medium of a limited number of photographs.
Rowan county was formed in 1753 from the northern part of
Anson
County
. It was named for Matthew Rowan, acting governor of
North Carolina
from 1753 to 1754.
Originally,
Rowan
County
was a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. Reductions in its extent began in 1770, when
the eastern part of it was combined with the western part of
Orange
County
to become
Guilford County
,
North Carolina
. In 1771
the northeastern part of what remained of
Rowan
County
became
Surry
County
. In 1777 the western part of
Rowan
County
became
Burke
County
. In 1788 the western part of the now much smaller
Rowan
County
became
Iredell
County
. In 1822 the eastern
part of the still shrinking county became
Davidson
County
. Finally, in 1836 the part of
Rowan
County
north of the
South
Yadkin
River
became
Davie
County
.
