Gaston County is located in the south, western Piedmont of North Carolina. It is the 3rd largest county by population. The county Seat is Gastonia. The area of Gaston County was settled by Irish, Pennsylvania Dutch and English settlers in the mid 1700's. Most of the settlers lived on small farms initially. Since this are was originally populated with Cherokee, the farmers and Cherokee collided on many fronts. The Catawba tribe was also very active against the settlers until the North Carolina and South Carolina line was settled. After that the Catawba's Moved to a reservation in Fort Mill, SC.
