History


The county was formed in 1779 from the eastern part of Tryon County, which had been settled by Europeans in the mid-18th Century. It was named for Benjamin Lincoln, a general in the American Revolutionary War."[3] During the American Revolution, the Battle of Ramsour's Mill occurred near a grist mill in Lincolnton.


"In 1782 the southeastern part of Burke County was annexed to Lincoln County. In 1841 parts of Lincoln County and Rutherford County were combined to form Cleveland County. In 1842 the northern third of Lincoln County became Catawba County. In 1846 the southern half of what was left of Lincoln County became Gaston County."[3]

Politics, law and government


Lincoln is currently a powerfully Republican county. It has not been carried by any Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Carter in 1980 is the last Democrat to reach forty percent of the county’s vote in a Presidential election. Before World War II, Lincoln was a typically Democratic Southern county except for supporting Herbert Hoover in 1928 and William McKinley in 1900, but since Thomas E. Dewey carried the county in 1948, it has gone Democratic just twice.
