Little Buffalo Creek was known to be in the area first settled by Scotch Irish and German settlers. CabarrusCounty.us is full of further information such as:
Three hundred years ago there was a special place in the vast new lands of the new world, a mesopotamia between two great rivers which would later be called Yadkin and Catawba. There canebrakes grew up along creeks which fed the area's on river, and provided shelter for the buffalo which lived in the land. There were hardwood forests, separated by rolling meadows of grass six feet high. Wild game lived along the edges of the forests, giant wild turkeys lived in the forests, and great flocks of passenger pigeons regularly darkened the sky. It is little wonder that the first European to describe the area, a surveyor named John Lawson, was to describe the land as a "delicious country".
