Charlotte
County: Mecklenburg
Welcome to Charlotte and pardon the progress as we continue blossoming from a midsize community into a cosmopolitan city. Our namesake, Queen Charlotte Sophia, German-born wife of King George III of England, would surely be proud to know we're getting our own Ritz-Carlton Hotel. And if that didn't impress her, we could always share the story of how we scored the NASCAR Hall of Fame. If you're reading this, you've either just moved here, or you're considering it. The good news is that most Charlotteans aren't from here either. They hail from all over and, like you, came for reasons ranging from work to weather - although some will tell you it was the southern hospitality, BBQ and sweet tea that sealed the deal.
As you get to know the Queen City, we encourage you to put her to the same test as a potential mate - introduce her to friends and family, applying your highest standards. We think you'll find in our city the same attractive qualities that make humans fall head over heels with each other.

Kannapolis
County: Cabarrus
The economic power of the Kannapolis community had its genesis with the textile factory of Cannon Mills in 1906. Owner James W. Cannon wanted to build a community around the new facility to provide housing for factory workers. Loosely translated from its Greek origin, the name Kannapolis means City of Looms. Today, one of the Cannon operations is still a major regional employer and continues to refine its methods and automate its facilities in the production of home fashions. Warm and friendly neighbors, affordable and attractive housing, quality schools, and small-town charm are factors in the attraction to Kannapolis. This family-friendly environment is filled with parks and greenways, sparkling lakes, a dynamic business and retail community, charming historic districts, and upscale neighborhoods that are rich in amenities. Festivals, sporting events, an active YMCA, and charming Cannon Village shopping are just a few of the advantages. Residents and planners share a commitment to controlled growth where new neighborhoods and new businesses are seamlessly integrated to preserve the high quality of life.
