History
Prior to its incorporation in 1873, Pineville, originally named Morrow's Turnout, was located at the intersection of two major Native American trading routes; it had vast meadows in which the animals of trade and transportation could be "turned-out" to pasture. The location served as a mule trading center in addition to a stop for stagecoaches and, later, the Charlotte & Columbia Railroad.
Around 1852, Morrow's Turnout was renamed Pineville, after the large stands of pine trees in the area.
The growth of Pineville was greatly changed through the initial segment of I-485 opening to traffic. Although the one-mile (1.6 km) stretch connecting interchanges at NC Highway 51 and South Boulevard was designed to divert through traffic around Charlotte via a freeway loop, I-485 incidentally passed through Pineville's town limits. In the years to follow, largely undeveloped land adjacent to Pineville's two I-485 interchanges developed into what is now the largest shopping district in North Carolina. The town population has grown from less than 2,000 between the 1930s and 1980s to over 10,000 in 2020.
