Dallas Origins
Named after George Mifflin Dallas, the 11th Vice President of the United States, Dallas was officially incorporated in 1863. The town served as the original County Seat for Gaston County from 1846 until 1911, during which time it was a thriving hub of government and business activity.
In a place where the reckless driving of your horse might cost you a $2 fine, the founders had great appreciation for culture, higher education and the judicial system.
