Davidson County Information

Davidson County – Nothing could be finer!
Davidson County is mostly rural and is situated in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad. It is served by four major highways and interstates. This provides easy commutes and employment opportunities from Charlotte to Raleigh, and from High Point to Greensboro and Winston-Salem. If you are looking for rural living or a small town atmosphere with affordable housing and strong schools, consider Davidson County. Lexington and Thomasville are the major cities in Davidson – followed by Denton and Wallburg.

Lexington – The Barbecue Capital of the World – has more than 20 barbecue restaurants and hosts a major festival each fall. Other areas of interest are the incredible Childress Vineyard, the Bob Timberlake Gallery, great golf courses, and the whole recreational and living area of High Rock Lake and the Yadkin River
