Fencing a mill town platted almost overnight
When James Cannon bought roughly 1,000 acres in 1906 to build Kannapolis, the mill-village streets were laid out in a tight grid, with small company-built lots close together. Property lines from that original 1906-era platting still shape many of the town's older neighborhoods, close to the site of the mill Cannon's company demolished in 2006.
Why that layout matters for a fence
A fence on one of Kannapolis's original mill-village lots often has to work with a narrower, more tightly packed boundary than a fence in a newer subdivision like Afton Village or Highland Creek. Confirming the actual property line against a current survey, rather than the century-old grid, keeps a new fence out of a dispute with the neighboring lot.

Boundary and permit notes for Kannapolis
A current survey is the fastest way to confirm a Kannapolis property line before setting posts, and Cabarrus County or town zoning rules may cap fence height or restrict materials near a corner lot or right-of-way.
