The town of Cornelius, the second youngest of Mecklenburg County's six incorporated towns, was founded in 1893 but not incorporated until March 4, 1905. 

Many historians have traced the Town’s origin to a dispute over cotton weighing.  In the late 1800's, two thriving cotton firms located in Davidson disagreed on whether an official town cotton weigher should be appointed.  After a heated election was held and legislation enacted, a town cotton weigher was hired and the firm which opposed the appointment decided to relocate much of its operations just south of the Davidson town limits.

Joseph Benjamin Cornelius (1833-1914) supplied the needed investment for a cotton mill to support the new cotton trading market.  Although the Town was originally incorporated as 'Liverpool', the name was soon changed to Cornelius in his honor.

The creation of Lake Norman in 1963 was influential to the town's further development and recent growth.  Duke Power created Lake Norman and provided the area with recreational opportunities and a source of hydroelectric power.  The formation of Lake Norman also provided the area with choice lakeside property.
