Golf in Gastonia

Gastonia is the largest city and county seat of Gaston County, a major industrial and suburban city in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Gaston County is adjacent to Mecklenburg County, and Gastonia has historically been one of the most important textile manufacturing centers in the Southeast, with cotton mills defining the city's economy through much of the twentieth century. The Loray Mill strike of 1929 was a landmark event in American labor history. Today Gastonia is part of the Charlotte metro's western suburban zone, along the I-85 corridor between Charlotte and Gaffney, South Carolina.
