Discover Matthews
In the early 19th century the settlement that became Matthews was informally called Stumptown, for the many tree stumps left after land was cleared for cotton fields. It was later named Fullwood, after John Miles Fullwood, the area's appointed postmaster. A sawmill and the cotton and timber trades helped the settlement grow into a town, and before the railroad came it served as a stagecoach stop between Charlotte and Monroe.
More about Matthews
The first train arrived on December 15, 1874. The town was incorporated in 1879 and renamed Matthews in honor of Edward Matthews, a director of the Central Carolina Railroad, which later became part of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Matthews lies about 11 miles southeast of uptown Charlotte, and its annual Matthews Alive Labor Day parade has been described by local officials as the largest in the Southeast.
