History
Davie County became a part of the Middle Yadkin Soil & Water
Conservation District on March 22, 1939, along with
Davidson, Rowan and Cabarrus Counties. Iredell County joined
the District September 11, 1939. This multi-county soil
conservation District was organized under provisions of the
1937 District Law, Chapter 139 of the General Statutes of
North Carolina, to develop and carry out a soil conservation
program to prevent soil erosion, floods, and sediment damage
within the District, to protect our streams, the tax base,
the public lands and promote the health, safety and general
welfare of the people within the District.
In 1963, the Board of Supervisors of the Middle Yadkin Soil
and Water Conservation District decided that the county
units could better serve the people by dividing the District
into five single county districts. Thus, the Davie Soil and
Water Conservation District was created September 4, 1963.
