Davidson County, North Carolina

Davidson Location Map North Carolina

Central North Carolina is home to Davidson County, a place where barbecue is serious business. Lexington is the largest city here. It’s known as the “Barbecue Capital of the World”. 

It sits in the Piedmont Triad region, close to major cities but with a character all its own. You’ll find a mix of small towns and rural areas.

While the Yadkin River forms its western border, High Rock Lake is a popular spot for boating. Manufacturing has long been important here, especially furniture. The county has a rich racing heritage too.
