History

The general Sanford area played key roles in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, specifically regarding sites like the [http://www.nchistoricsites.org/horsesho/horsesho.htm House in the Horseshoe] and Endor Iron Furnace. Sanford is located in Lee County, North Carolina, which was formed from parts of the surrounding three counties in 1907. In particular brownstone and subsequent brick production made Sanford a key provider of these building materials for areas throughout the United States. . On creation of the new county, both Sanford and Jonesboro were the major towns in the area. Rather than decide which would be the county seat, the decision was to place the county's new courthouse directly between the two towns.
