History for Cabarrus County

In 1795 an act was passed naming commissioners to erect a courthouse for Cabarrus County on the land of Samuel Hugey which had already been selected as a proper place for the county seat. They were to lay out the town of Concord which was incorporated in 1806 as the county seat.1

Cabarrus County was named in honor of Stephen Cabarrus of Edenton, several times a member of the Legislature and four times speaker of the House of Commons.1

North Carolinians are nicknamed the "Tar Heels".

It not exactly evident where this nickname originated, but it seems to have given birth during the Civil War. North Carolina's troops were said to have tar on their heels, because they would not run in battle even as other states retreated.
