Davie County, North Carolina

Davie County Courthouse

On October 28, 2022, George and I visited Davie County, North Carolina. Davie County was established in 1837, with land from neighboring Rowan County.  It's named for William Richardson Davie, an early governor of North Carolina. During the Civil War, Davie County was initially against succession, but eventually, over 1000 men from the area fought for the Confederacy.

Mocksville (incorporated in 1839) is the county seat of Davie County. Daniel Boone lived near Mocksville for 16 years, and  his parents are buried in the Joppa Cemetery, which George and I visited. (We looked for a

Joppa Cemetery, Mocksville

geocache there, but couldn't find it. It's a pretty cemetery, though.) The town hosts the annual Daniel Boone Family Festival in May, and the Oaks Festival every October.

I'd like to back to Davie County sometime and visit some of the vineyards/wineries in the area.

The rest of my Davie County photos are here.
