Gastonia, North Carolina is the 13th largest City in North Carolina and the second largest satellite city of the Charlotte area.
Gastonia was named for William Gaston who was a member of the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1833 to 1844. Gastonia is also the county seat of Gaston County which was also named after William Gaston. Gastonia was known for the textile mills years ago. Gaston County had a great deal of textile mills from the 20's till the 90's when some of the mills were closing and changing locations. One event that was observed nationwide was the Loray Mill Strike in 1929. This strike is one of the most notable in the history of the United States. The Loray Mill building still stands today and are apartments - but still displays the architect of years ago. Its also the tallest building in Gastonia @ 140 feet.
Gastonia is filled with attractions or things to do. Rather it's riding to nearby Charlotte or maybe take a hike in beautiful Crowders Mountain State Park - there are always something to do. This makes Gastonia a great place to visit or live.
