PREFACE


Lenoir, North Carolina


COUNTY SEAT OF CALDWELL COUNTY


PREFACE


The City of Lenoir is situated in the western Piedmont section of North Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is the southern gateway to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock-Grandfather Mountain area. It is principally an industrial city with the manufacture of furniture its leading industry, being the largest in the entire United States.


Between 1857 and 1900, however, Lenoir was known as a summer resort and had many summer visitors, while all of those who went to Blowing Rock left the train at Lenoir and drove 23 miles by road up the mountain in horse drawn hacks. The distance is now only 19 miles.


INDUSTRY


It was during this period, however, that the manufacture of furniture first started in Lenoir, since there were many skilled cabinet makers in this area, the descendants of skilled artisans who had been brought over from England by the wealthy plantation owners in Happy Valley and the Yadkin Valley to build the furniture for the homes built in this valley shortly after the Revolution. Several of these beautiful old homes, containing the hand-made furniture, are still standing and in use by the descendants of the families who built them.


By 1900 Lenoir was already well-known as a furniture manufacturing center. This industry has increased steadily until at the present time there are eighteen large funiture manufacturing plants. In all, there are some 51 different industries operated in Lenoir employing more than 10,000 persons. Of these the furniture industry alone employs more than 6,000 persons, a majority of these being men. The payroll for the furniture industry amounts to approximately $300,000 a week and the total in- dustrial payroll is approximately $600,000 a week. There are also eight cotton spinning mills in Lenoir and the Lenoir area which employs some 3,000 persons, mostly women, also a large plant making work clothing. There are also hosiery mills, machine shops, flour mills, sawmills, mill- work plants and other miscellaneous industries.


POPULATION


The population of Lenoir was 7,900 within the city limits according to the 1950 census, while the population of Caldwell County in 1950 was 43,329. The population of the two townships in which Lenoir is located was 26,090 in 1950. Accordingly, the population of Lenoir and the areas

immediately surrounding it is conservatively estimated at approximately 20,106 persons now, while the trading area is approximately between 60,000 and 65,000. A recent annexation has increased the population within the city limits to approximately 11,000.


The difference between the census population and the population living in and adjacent to Lenoir is due to the fact that many of those employed in the industrial plants live outside the city limits or on small farms out in the country.


TRANSPORTATION


Lenoir is served by the Carolina and Northwestern Railway, a sub- sidiary of the Southern Railway System, extending from Lenoir to Chester, S. C., where it connects with the Seaboard Airline Railway. The C & N W also intersects the main East-West line of the Southern Railway in Hickory, 19 miles south, and the main Washington-Atlanta line of the Southern in Gastonia, some 50 miles south of Lenoir. In addition, Lenoir is served by three state and federal highways which afford frequent bus and freight transportation. Ten large trucking con- cerns operate out of Lenoir either as common carriers or contract haulers. Regular bus service to all points in the United States is provided by the Atlantic Greyhound lines and the Queen City Coach Company. Through rail passenger service to New York, Chicago and all points is available from Hickory over the Southern Railway System. Piedmont Airlines provides air travel from the Hickory Airport.


TAXES


The tax rate in the city of Lenoir for all purposes is $1.71 for each $100 valuation, for which $1.41 is for city purposes and 30 cents for school purposes. The county tax rate is 90 cents on each $100 valuation for all county purposes. Property is assessed at approximately 75 per cent of its real value for taxation purposes for both the city and county. No state property tax levied in North Carolina.


FIRE PROTECTION


Lenoir has a modern up to date fire department. The equipment consists of four fire engines, each equipped with pumping facilities and an auxiliary water truck plus a ladder service truck. The department is manned by a force of 18 full time firemen, 6 part time firemen and 8 volunteer firemen. The supervisory personnel consists of 9 paid and volunteer officers. The result of this competent fire protection gives an insurance rate of class 5.
