Round Knob Park development plans rise from Nebury roots
M Maupin now in Washington City purchases a thousand acres at the Knob on the Western edge to form a Round Knob Park company. The project includes rebuilding the fountain and hotel ruins, restore the famed spray and rainbow, and revive Victorian era waterside beauty for travelers on the roadside fringe. County commissioners in Iredell aim to build a new county home soon, while Mecklenburg’s historic icons stir local pride with Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence signed May 20, 1775 and ties to James K Polk. National figures Geo Gordon, C Swaine Walker, and William Frye receive oblique legacies as contemporaries pass.
