To Our Visitors: Post-Hurricane Helene

Lake Norman is safe and open for travel following Hurricane Helene. While we are fortunate to avoid the worst, our hearts go out to those who have been affected in neighboring regions. For those in need, we currently have limited hotel room availability for individuals displaced by the hurricane. Western NC Travel Advisory

Town of Huntersville

The area that is now Huntersville was originally settled by Scotch-Irish and German immigrants in the mid-1700s. Originally named Craighead, Huntersville was renamed after major landowner and cotton farmer, Robert Boston Hunter. One of the significant developments in the town's history was the establishment of the Huntersville Cotton Mill in 1873. The mill played a crucial role in the local economy, providing employment opportunities and contributing to the growth of the community.

Huntersville has grown from a small mill town, to a new, dynamic area combining retail and residential areas with historic cultural attractions. Home to diverse attractions and entertainment, shopping, NASCAR and natural parks, Huntersville has something for everyone. Birkdale Village, a mixed-use development, is a popular destination for shopping and entertainment. The town also hosts events and festivals, contributing to its community spirit.
