About Sawmills, NC

The community of Sawmills began in the late 1800's. The name "Sawmills" comes from the sawmills that were setup in the area due to the timber industry. The railroad system that ran through Caldwell County is one of the main reasons for the sawmills to locate in what would become the community of Sawmills. Sawmills was incorporated as a town in 1988. The battle between Granite Falls and Hudson for potential business property is what led the Sawmills community to vote for incorporation, as residents of Sawmills wanted to form their own town.
