“I think the future of Kannapolis is very bright. We’ve bounced back every time, with the goal that we will succeed, we will survive, we will make this work.”
- Phil Goodman, Kannapolis historian
The story of Kannapolis, NC, is one of growth and resilience. After transforming from a rural farming community to a bustling manufacturing center, the town enjoyed an explosive era of development and opportunity.
Unfortunately, like many cities built on industrial work, when the factories closed, it devastated the community.
