Downtown Drive - Kannapolis, North Carolina
A Sunday afternoon drive around the downtown area of Kannapolis, North Carolina. Also included are some adjacent residential areas to the downtown.
From Wikipedia:
Kannapolis (Kŭh-nă-pŭh-lŭs) is a city in Cabarrus and Rowan counties, in the U.S. state of North Carolina, northwest of Concord and northeast of Charlotte and is a suburb in the Charlotte metropolitan area. The city of Kannapolis was incorporated in 1984. The population was 42,625 at the 2010 census, which makes Kannapolis the 20th largest city in North Carolina. It is the home of the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, the Class A baseball affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and it is the hometown of the Earnhardt racing family. The center of the city is home to the North Carolina Research Campus, a public-private venture that focuses on food, nutrition, and biotech research.
Early meaning and usage of the city's name was a direct reference to Cannon Mills Corporation, or James William Cannon himself. Early published name variations include Cannon-opolis and Cannapolis. A widely accepted origin of the word Kannapolis comes from the combination of the Greek words kanna (reeds, not looms) and polis (city), which some believed meant City of Looms. Dr. Gary Freeze, Catawba College history and politics department chairman, said a Concord newspaper used the name Cannon City in 1906. After mill workers or newspapers called the town Cannapolis, J.W. Cannon asked Cabarrus County commissioners to give the town the name, but starting with a K. Kannapolis historian Norris Dearmon said the K might have been to distinguish the town from his Concord mill village. Since, Freeze said, Jim Cannon didn't study Greek, Cannon did not name the town city of looms. In 1906 J.W. Cannon purchased the land that later became Kannapolis, and acquired a total of 1,008 acres in Cabarrus and Rowan Counties. Approximately 808 of those acres of farmland, purchased along the historic wagon road between Salisbury and Charlotte, became the location of the new textile mill, Cannon Manufacturing. Cannon Manufacturing began production in 1908. In 1914 Cannon Manufacturing became known as the world's largest producer of sheets and towels. Shortly after, Mr. Cannon opened plants in Rowan County, Concord and in South Carolina totaling 20,000 workers. Mill founder J.W. Cannon's youngest son, Charles A. Cannon, consolidated all the separate mills into the giant Cannon Mills Company in 1928.

Welcome
The Town of Summerfield, North Carolina is currently working on a proposal to extend the A&Y Greenway through Summerfield. While there are many benefits to the Greenway, one of the primary benefits is connecting people to the rich heritage of the Town of Summerfield. We put this video together so that residents and trail users could learn more about the history of the Town and get excited about the upcoming trail and the opportunities it provides to visit these sites. Through these videos, we highlight numerous historical Summerfield locations on the proposed Greenway and just off the trail.
