Around 1760, Scottish emigrant John Patterson left Philadelphia with a group of adventurous pioneers for the North Carolina Piedmont. Along the banks of Coldwater Creek in what was then Mecklenburg County, Patterson found fertile land for crops, timber to build a home, adequate game for his table, and friendly natives, with the exception of traveling bands of Cherokee. Cabarrus County has a rich history beginning with the first gold discovered in the United States. Today, it is home to NASCAR's Charlotte Motor Speedway complex; a first-class shopping mall, Concord Mills; an impressive convention center; and a world leader in biotechnological research with the opening of the North Carolina Research Campus, located in downtown Kannapolis.

Located in the rolling hills of North Carolina's Piedmont, between the Yadkin and the Catawba Rivers, Cabarrus County was once a haven of lush vegetation and wild animals. Early immigrants-mostly of German and Scotch-Irish descent-arrived with a strong pioneering spirit to carve out of this wilderness a place to call home. The rich and fertile soil was ideal for agriculture, while the shiny yellow rocks proved to be "worth their weight" when correctly identified as nuggets of gold. Today, Cabarrus County and its county seat, Concord, are considered home to more than 100,000 residents.
