Communities: Town of Midland

Midland began as a railroad town about 1913 with the arrival of rail service. The town was incorporated in 2000. Prior to Midland's becoming a railroad village, a community named Garmon existed in the area and appears on an 1864 map of North Carolina. The community’s name, “Midland,” refers to the fact that it is located on the rail line halfway between Charlotte and Oakboro.

Today Midland is poised to become the next business “boomtown” in Cabarrus County.  The community has excellent four-lane highway connection via US 24-27 to Interstate 485.  This makes transportation access as good as anywhere in the Charlotte Region at a fraction of the Text Box:  price.  Midland Industrial Park has plenty of great sites with appropriate infrastructure that can serve the needs of quality business seeking a great location and a great value.

Midland Industrial Park has 500 acres available for development and features access to rail, I-485, and utilities for less than $50,000 per acre.

 
The Reed Gold Mine, site of the first discovery of gold in the United States, is located east of the Midland. The Reed Gold Mine is now an historic site under State management and is open to the public. Visitors to the mine can tour a museum with extensive information and displays on North Carolina gold mining, and can walk through several hundred feet of mine tunnels.
