March 1843 CE

Catawba County, North Carolina is created on March 13, 1843, and its first court is held in Mathias Barringer Jr.'s house.

Formed in 1842 from Lincoln County, the new county is named for the Catawba tribe  who once inhabited the area around the Catawba River.

Once considered one of the most powerful Southeastern Siouan-speaking tribes in the Carolina Piedmont, the Catawba people now live along the border of North Carolina near the city of Rock Hill, South Carolina.

German and Scots-Irish colonial immigrants and farmers had settled in the area that is now Catawba County in the 1700s.
