From the Catawba tribe, to cotton fields, to country clubs — the tale of Cornelius’ history is rich with stories, anecdotes and images that span more than 300 years.

Based on extensive historical research, and drawing from in-depth interviews with many Cornelius residents and business people, A Town By Any Other Name charts the growth of a town that began as a Catawba trading ground and grew to be a significant and vibrant part of the North Carolina Piedmont.
