Waxhaw: Andrew Jackson Country in Union County
Waxhaw is a Union County town near the South Carolina border, in the area where Andrew Jackson was born in 1767. Jackson's exact birthplace is disputed between North Carolina and South Carolina, with both states claiming the seventh U.S. President. The Waxhaws region takes its name from the Waxhaw people, a Native American group who lived in the area before European settlement.
The town was incorporated in 1889 along the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Through most of its history Waxhaw remained a small rural community with a cotton-based economy. The population has grown sharply since 2000, reaching more than 13,000 as Charlotte's suburban reach has extended southward. The Museum of the Waxhaws preserves regional history and includes an Andrew Jackson exhibit.
The downtown historic district retains early 20th century buildings, many of which now house restaurants, antique shops, and galleries. Waxhaw Arts on Main hosts an annual spring gallery crawl, and the town's Main Street has become a weekend destination for visitors from across the Charlotte region.
