Historic Downtown Statesville, an architecturally rich commercial district, is the heart of Iredell County. The original 1700’s cornerstone of “Fourth Creek Settlement”, the 1870’s era First National Bank Building which houses the town clock and the beautifully restored 1911 Statesville Depot are just a few of the landmarks that make Statesville “more than a crossroads”. In Downtown Statesville you will experience Southern history and hospitality at it’s finest in diverse buildings, shops, restaurants and encounters with friendly local residents. www.downtownstatesvillenc.org
