Named after Revolutionary War hero William Lenoir, the City was established by the North Carolina Legislature as the County seat in 1841 and incorporated in 1851. Lenoir has historically been a furniture manufacturing community, especially with the opening of the Chester-Lenoir Railway in 1884.

The folk keeper was the Lenoir Stationery Store. Laurence Underhill.
The building downtown Lenoir that you are wondering what was that one time. You are thinking maybe it might’ve been a Sears. What that store used to be back in the day was Roses. And where the courthouse is now there was another old movie theater called State. So when they built the new courthouse, the State Theater was torn down.
I jest moved too lenoir here a couple of weeks ago been loving the place
any updates?? how is it so far
The memories that the video gives me. Lenoir will always be my home
it was ROSES DEPT STORE. Big ups for showing love to Marvins One Stop Record Shop! Nice informative video.Tastefully done...
Jeff is correct. It was Rose's and I wish it was still here. My husband was interested in restoring the Center Theater at one time but didn't get much cooperation so he abandoned the idea. Sad to see its run down condition. There were 2 other movie theaters as well, the Avon and the State. It also had at least one "dime" store other than Rose's. It was Efird's as I recall, though possibly spelled differently. ☺ It was quite a bustling little town at one time.
I grew up in this wonderful town. I still visit as often as I can. It has wonderful people and a great location in the foothills close to Blowing Rock.
Love that area.
Lenoir resident, that greenish house you found to look European is the Courtney Warehouse, and the market you thought was a Sears used to be O. P. Lutz Furniture Company and Lutz Hosiery Mill, A lot of downtown is a historical district
The Thrift Shop was the Corada, a fine ladies store owned by Frances Johnson
Walked right below our apparemnt lol little does everyone know there's aparemnts above the stores
Very cool🙂
I was born in Lenoir. My mother would go to the Center Theater, my grandpa bought all their school clothes and perticlurly brogan shoes. only once a year. Shoes were for school and church only. 11 children were born to Mr and CA Benfield. My grandpa. My mom was next to the youngest. Her little brother was 3 and she 13 when their mother died. I still have lots of kin around Lenoir and go back as often as I can. Hog waller was mostly a men's hang out while women shopped and such. It was a bit seedy mom said. There was a man that owned a store that would open up so the kids who can down town to roller skate would let them in to skate if it was raining. Grandpa and other men would stand around most of the day and talk. That was the social hub outside of church on Sundays. Thank you for showing me my home town. My father was born there as well and there were 11 kids in his family. My dad was born at Joyceton not far, in 1929 and my mother in 1931. They are both gone now but I remember so many stories mom told of growing up in Lenoir. Oh you forgot to tell about liver mush. It can only be found with 70 miles of Lenoir. You can buy it in stores and cafes now. But in the day people made their own. Pig liver and brains and a little fat, cornmeal sage and salt and pepper. They would make them in loafs and slice a piece off and fry for breakfast with eggs or a piece in a sandwich for lunch. Mom and I used to go back each year until health wise she couldn't. And everyone kept sweet potatoes in the warming oven of the old wood stoves so kids could grab a snake after school . Thanks for the memories. Mary Ann
Mary Ann again. Grandpa shopped at the Guarantee Store that was owned by an old Jew who gave good quality for a fair price. Liver mush doesn't keep long. That's why it's only local. We would buy Hunts brand and take some home to my brother Craig in Texas in an ice chest each visit .
Love these memories. Thank you for sharing.
The 4440 Ranch & Cattle Company is owned by MLB pitcher Madison Bumgarner
Very cool. Thank you for thar information. 🙂
Mom told me they got their school clothes once a year at the Garrentee Store. The old that run it was the only one trusted by my grandpa Benfield. Mom used to walk miles to the Center theater to go to the movies. I think in early 1940 s a dime.
I think the empty store was called BELKS back in the seventies, I haven't lived in Lenoir since 1989, but was born and raised there, brings back memories.😉
Thanks so much for showing Lenoir. I lived in Granite Falls but we would go to Lenoir to shop. Use to have a great bakery there
That was a Roses sign
