Henderson

Henderson has served as the seat of Vance County in North Carolina since the county’s creation in 1881. Set in the rolling Piedmont, the city lies south of Kerr Lake, a reservoir formed by John H. Kerr Dam on the Roanoke River. Downtown Henderson grew around rail connections and the tobacco trade, an industry that long shaped this part of the state. Its compact business district remains a civic focus, while McGregor Hall hosts concerts, theatre and community events in a restored downtown building. Rural Granville and Warren counties surround the city with farms, woods and small towns. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Henderson relates to its Piedmont surroundings.
