Fencing land from Moore's Siding to today's Race City USA
Mooresville's original boundaries trace back to Moore's Siding, a rail depot platted on John Franklin Moore's land after 1856 and incorporated in 1873, while much of its modern residential growth followed the Lake Norman boom that earned it the Race City USA nickname. Older in-town lots and newer lake-area subdivisions were surveyed generations apart.
What that means for setting a fence line
A fence project near Mooresville's original depot-era downtown should account for older, sometimes imprecise boundary records, while a newer lake-corridor subdivision usually has a clean, recent plat. A current survey resolves either situation faster than relying on old paperwork.
