Lincoln County, North Carolina
Lincoln County sits just west of Charlotte. It’s a mix of rural charm and suburban growth. Lincolnton is the county seat, which has a quaint downtown filled with local shops.
The county has deep roots in the textile industry. You can still see old mill buildings dotting the landscape. Lake Norman’s northern tip dips into the county, offering great recreation options.
History runs deep here. The Battle of Ramsour’s Mill, a Revolutionary War skirmish, happened in what’s now Lincolnton. The Apple Festival each fall is a big draw. Locals love their BBQ.

Lincoln has a short, wide shape. It’s almost like a sideways rectangle with a squiggly east boundary. Lake Norman helps shape that edge, curving around the county line. Clean, simple borders with just enough curve to be interesting.
