The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Archdale, previously known as Bush Hill, began as a predominantly Quaker settlement and received the name "Archdale" as a tribute to John Archdale, a lord proprietor and an early Quaker governor. It was incorporated as a city in July 1969. Water and sewer service were needed because the area was "heavy clay". Voters in the area held a referendum, though residents of Trinity decided not to join Archdale.
The Moses Hammond House and Harper House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Jerry W. Tillman (1940–2023), North Carolina legislator, was born in Archdale.
