Welcome to Davidson, NCThe town of Davidson is situated along the eastern shore of beautiful Lake Norman, in both Iredell and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina. Just 23 miles north of Charlotte, the town developed around the campus of Davidson College, which was established in 1837 by the Concord Presbytery and named in honor of Brigadier General William Lee Davidson, a local Revolutionary War commander. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Lake Norman was created as part of the construction of Cowers Ford Dam; since then, the “inland sea” has attracted many new residents and visitors to the region, boosting Davidson’s growth and prosperity.
Today Davidson remains a small, but vibrant community of just over 9,000 residents who enjoy a high quality of life that is hard to come by in a large metropolitan area. Throughout the years, Davidson has resisted over-commercialization and development, ensuring that the town stays rich with historic Southern charm, natural beauty, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Davidson offers a “Hip & Historic” downtown that boasts everything from art galleries to restaurants and unique fashion boutiques, and the non-profit Downtown Davidson, Inc. brings a variety of events to the district, including Concerts on the Green, April is for Arts, a farmer’s market, and a Christmas celebration. The beautiful campus of Davidson College—frequently ranked among the top ten liberal arts colleges in the nation—also serves as a centerpiece for the town, offering quality education, culture, and athletic events year-round.
