Kings Mountain has a rich history. In the 1980s and ’90s, Kings Mountain resident Ken Fisher published many articles about our local history in the Echo, the local newsletter.  We are republishing them – courtesy of Ken Fisher and the Kings Mountain Echo. If you have ever asked yourself: Where the mountain got its name from, or who was George Harkins or Purdy Pharis, Ken sheds light on many of these historical facts.
