Henderson, North Carolina: What Is This Little Town All About?

By Allen Taylor | Travel With Allen & Theresa | 27 Jun 2023

Today we're in Henderson, North Carolina. This is another one of our most popular videos on YouTube.

Henderson was settled in 1785, which makes it a fairly old city by comparison to many others. In 1835, the Gaston Railroad was built and the city boomed. That's also the year the city took its name. Shortly afterward, businesses began rising up from the soil. Merchants built saloons, hotels, retail shops, warehouses, and railroad shipping facilities. A rich tobacco industry even grew up here.

Take a walk through Henderson, North Carolina with us and see how this small town grew up from the dirt.
