“The greatness of a city is not measured by its size but in the happiness of its people – Mooresville is a great city.” These words from Mayor Joe V. Knox in 1973, still ring true today. In 1856, John Franklin Moore gave land to the A.T. & O. Railroad Co. for a sidetrack and depot to be built in Southern Iredell County. The foundations for the town of Mooresville had been laid.
It was incorporated by Act 266 and ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on March 3, 1873. The Mooresville Museum congratulates its citizens with our special edition Sesquicentennial ornament.
