Pineville, NC
Pineville, incorporated in 1873, was named for the large and abundant pines that cast their shadows over the community. At the time it was known as a mule trading center which was located at the intersection of two major Native American trading routes. During the 1880s and 1890s, Pineville became a booming agricultural and textile center.
After the Great Depression of the 1930s, Pineville’s growth slowed substantially. Cotton production, and agriculture as a whole, declined in the Carolina Piedmont.
The growth of Pineville was greatly changed in the 1990s. Carolina Place mall opened in 1991 with four anchor stores, Belk, Dillard's , JCPenney and Sears. In 1994, the segment of I-485 passing through Pineville's town limits, and just north of the mall, opened to traffic.
In the years to follow, largely undeveloped land adjacent to Pineville's two I-485 interchanges developed into a large shopping district.
