Weddington History

The Town of Weddington started in the 1760’s with the first massive migration of Northerners of European decent. The community began to emerge in 1824 when Reuben Boswell, a veteran of the Revolutionary War from Virginia, donated four acres to the Sandy Ridge Methodist Episcopal Church.

Reuben Boswell Weddington, Reuben Boswell’s grandson, was born in 1826 and left a lasting legacy to the community, which now bears his name. In recognition of his generous contributions to the church and community, the church was renamed Weddington Methodist Church in 1899. The community took its name from the church. When the North Carolina General Assembly incorporated this area as a town in 1983, it became the Town of Weddington.
