Moore's Siding was the first name of Mooresville, NC
In 1856 the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad
completed the
track from Charlotte to Statesville. The Railroad saw a need
for a Depot with a sidetrack and cotton-weighing platform in
Southern Iredell County. John Franklin Moore offered land for
the site as well as lots for sale to anyone interested in building
a town. The place was named Moore's Siding in honor of John
Moore and his generous gift.
Moore's Siding was incorporated in 1873 and the
name was changed to Mooresville. John Franklin Moore died only
4 years later and was the first person buried in Willow Valley
Cemetery.
Mooresville continued to grow over the years.
As of the year 2000 the population was 20,000 up from 9,000
in 1990.
