Located 40 minutes north of the capital city of Raleigh, Henderson, North Carolina is a rural town rich with history. The first settlers’ residence was built in what is now Henderson in 1785 by Samuel Reavis, Sr. Reavis called his farm “Lonesome Valley” which likely described the area at that time. Reavis’ son, Lewis Reavis, opened a store close to the stagecoach road in 1811 where he began to see an influx of settlers and the awakening of a city.
The city was named in honor of former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Leonard Henderson, who lived nearby and was a friend of early settler Lewis Reavis. Henderson was officially chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1841.
Though Henderson has historically relied heavily on the tobacco, cotton and textile industries for jobs and economic growth, in recent years the retail market has been one of its major growth sectors. With its centralized location along Interstate 85 and U.S. 1, outstanding water supply, mild climate, excellent medical, recreational and educational facilities and stable work force, Henderson continues to be an attractive location to businesses, developers and individuals alike.
