Kannapolis, North Carolina, originated as a textile mill town in 1906 when J.W. Cannon purhcased farmland between Salisbury and Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1908 the first mill at Kannapolis opened. Kannapolis officially incorporated in 1984. The mills went through several owners including the Cannon family, the Pacific Holding Company, Fieldcrest Mills, and its final owner the Pillowtex corporation. After the mills closed their doors for the final time in 2003, government officials and city planners in Kannapolis initiated a process to redefine the mill town as a biotechnology hub through the development of the North Carolina Research Campus.
