City Directories

Gaston County City Directories

City directories are frequently used for both genealogical and historical research. The geographical coverage of the various volumes of these directories varies. There are no existing directories for much of Gaston County for many years and those directories which do exist were not published every year.  The first directory for the entire county was published in 1998. Lincoln County has even less coverage. This guide lists the directories in our collection and the areas covered in each. The areas and mill villages included in the early directories were taken from the street listings. For later volumes, the communities covered are assumed to be those listed on the title page.

Many city directories are now online.  Various Gaston County directories between 1910 and 1963 are in the DigitalNC collection.  We have linked to online copies if we know of one.

The directories listed below are in the North Carolina Collection at the Gastonia Main Library. Non-local users: While we do not have the staff to do extensive research, we are happy to check for a name in a volume.

We would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows of existing directories not listed here. Please contact us at:

Gaston County City Directories

Gaston County is a textile county and the directories give an insight into that phase of our history as "mill villages" appear and disappear. As the cities grew, many of these once company-owned villages were swallowed up. Some are still identifiable as communities and others only by the street names they left behind them.
