About Granite Falls, NC

The name Granite Falls comes from the waters that splash over the granite boulders spanning Gunpowder Creek. In 1791, pioneer Andrew Baird saw that he could operate an iron works beside the stream. In doing so, he became owner of all the land now occupied by the Town of Granite Falls. The community would live on from that point. Granite Falls was incorporated as a town in 1899.
