Montgomery County, Administrative county in Piedmont region, North Carolina, United States.
Montgomery County is a county in central North Carolina covering approximately 491 square miles of terrain. The landscape includes rolling areas, with the Uwharrie National Forest making up a substantial portion of the land.
The area was established as a county in 1779 when it separated from Anson County, taking the name of Richard Montgomery, a general in the American Revolutionary War. This formation reflected the region's growing settlement and administrative organization during that period.
The community in this area has deep roots in agriculture and timber work, which continue to shape how people spend their time and what matters to them locally.
Interstate 73/74 and several highways pass through and connect this area to surrounding regions. The railroad network supports freight movement and helps connect communities within the broader region.
Near the town of Mount Gilead sits one of the country's largest lumber milling operations, a major employer that shapes local economic life. This facility represents decades of timber industry presence that continues to define the area.
