2016 County Line Rd , Kings Mountain, NC 28086(Gaston County)

In a region rich with American Revolutionary War history, Kings Mountain, NC stands apart. Originally the settlement was called White Plains, but when the city was incorporated in 1874, the name was changed. It was decided that "Kings Mountain" would be a more appropriate name since the community was close to the historic battle of Kings Mountain. Coming after a series of disasters and humiliations in the Carolinas, the battle, October 7, 1780, was a pivotal moment in the history of the American Revolution War. The surprising, decisive victory was a great boost to Patriot morale. Names of the 900 Patriots at the battle, (including John Crockett father of Davy Crockett), now dot our maps and grace the pages of our history books. Many historians, including Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover declared the battle of Kings Mountain as the turning point of the war. Hoover wrote, "This is a place of inspiring memories. Here less than a thousand men, inspired by the urge of freedom, defeated a superior force entrenched in this strategic position. This small band of Patriots turned back a dangerous invasion well designed to separate and dismember the united Colonies. It was a little army and a little battle, but it was of mighty portent. History has done scant justice to its significance, which rightly should place it beside Lexington, Bunker Hill, Trenton and Yorktown. This same love for freedom and home has been passed along the generations, and when the C.S. Plonk family settled here that love for and stewardship of the land continued.
