Cabarrus County is a county located in the south-central part of the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of 2000, the population was 131,063. A population of approximately 147,000 in 2005 represents a vast increase in population over the past 30 years, due largely to the increase in urban sprawl of Charlotte, North Carolina to the southwest. Its county seat is Concord6, and dates from the latter eighteenth century.

History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The county was formed in 1792 from Mecklenburg County. It was named after Stephen Cabarrus of Chowan County, speaker of the North Carolina House of Commons.

Gold was first discovered here by Conrad Reed in Concord, a major city of Cabarrus County. Conrad Reed was the son of a Hessian Soldier brought over by British troops to fight in the Revolution. His father deserted and found a farm which later became the gold mine known as Reed's Gold Mine.
