Davidson

The Town of Davidson is a quaint little college town and so much more. Davidson is located along I-77 and Lake Norman, just about 20 miles north of uptown Charlotte.   The town has a population of about 13,000.  Davidson is a very pedestrian and bike rider friendly town.  No drive thrus are allowed in the town.  The main streets all have nice wide sidewalks.

Davidson College was founded in 1839 by the Presbyterian church. Initially the college was the town government. The town incorporated in 1879 as Davidson College and changed it’s name to Davidson in 1891. For more information on the history of Davidson, please click here.  Davidson College is now ranked among America’s strongest and most selective liberal arts colleges.  It is the first liberal arts college to eliminate loans in financial aid packages.  The campus is 665 acres plus a 110 acre lake campus.  It hosts 1,850 students with a 50/50 male to female ratio.
