Welcome to Harrisburg, North Carolina
Located in southwest Cabarrus County bordering Mecklenburg County, the Town of Harrisburg was incorporated in 1973.  Settled mostly by Scotch-Irish sometime between 1732 and 1765, Harrisburg is still home to families that arrived in the 1700s.

Well known builders such as Niblock … (1 comments)

On a hot summer day, what better way is there to cool off than attend an ice cream social?  The good residents of Kellswater Bridge in Kannapolis NC held one this past Saturday at the pool.

Boy, was … (4 comments)
