Stonecroft CommunityCharlotte NC History in the Stonecroft Community

As with most areas of Charlotte, Stonecroft has a fascinating history lesson!  To walk throught this beautiful neighborhood today, you would never imagine that such a luxurious area holds such a captivating history lesson. 

 

Stonecroft Community

 

 

In September, 1780, during the Revolutionary War, General Charles Cornwallis rested his troops for the night in, what is now, Charlotte NC luxury real estate, Stonecroft Neighborhood.  This property, seventy-five rolling acres, owned and farmed for generations by Charlotte's Rea family, have become an exclusive residential community. 

 

 

 

The acreage, now an elegant community like no other, has an air of warmth and luxury.  Hence the name of one of the most regal streets in Charlotte (in Stonecroft, of course) is Cornwallis Camp Drive.

The area's most elite custom builders created an exclusive South Charlotte neighborhood, preserving age-old trees and boasting beautiful streetscapes.

Debe, these homes look massive and stately. How special to incorporate American history in one's community. I had no idea Cornwallis was in NC - I think I thought he just came straight off the Atlantic into Yorktown. Stonecroft in South Charlotte must be a very prestigious address.

Hi Lori!  Thank you!  I love tracking history of the development of areas but, it's really fun to track it that far back!  It's amazing what history lies beyond the gorgeous monuments at the entrances!
