Cherryville

Cherryville combines a compact small-town centre with a deeply rooted New Year custom in a way that reflects its position in North Carolina’s western Piedmont. Set amid rolling terrain between the Charlotte region and the Blue Ridge foothills, it developed around the railroad and took its name from cherry trees planted beside the line. The town is particularly associated with the New Year Shooters, a local tradition in which participants use black-powder muskets to announce the holiday. Downtown streets, local businesses and community events give this Gaston County city its distinct civic focus.
