In the early 1700s, this area was known as "White Pine". King George III of England, and Governor Samuel Ashe of North Carolina both made land grants to the area in the late 18th century. Gradually, Dutch, German, and Scots-Irish families established a community along the Old Post Road. The Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, now known as Carolina Central Railroad, arrived in 1862. Cherry trees were planted along this railroad, which led to the community being named "Cherryville". It was incorporated in 1881.
