About Cornelius, North Carolina

Cornelius is a town of 31,412 people in northern Mecklenburg County, on the shore of Lake Norman about 20 miles north of Charlotte. People have lived in the area since at least the 1750s, but the town began in 1893, when an argument over the public scales used to weigh cotton led to a new settlement called Liverpool.

The town's first industry was a cotton mill. When Liverpool was incorporated on March 4, 1905, it took the name Cornelius to honor Joe B. Cornelius, who had put the most money into the mill as its chief investor and principal stockholder.
