{{unreferenced section|date=August 2023}}
Founded on March 12, 1861, the town holds a history of traders traveling along the "Indian Trail," which ran from [[Petersburg, Virginia]], to the [[Waxhaw people|Waxhaw Indians]] and gold mining areas. Indian Trail was first a farming community; however, [[German American|German]] and [[Scotch-Irish American|Scot-Irish]] and [[Irish Americans|Irish]] settlers began to move into the area due to its geographical location. In 1874, the [[Seaboard Coast Line Railroad]] was built between the cities [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]] and [[Monroe, North Carolina|Monroe]]. The railroad, which runs through the town, brought prosperity to the area. Indian Trail was incorporated as a town in 1907, with established city limits based upon a one-half mile radius from the intersection of Indian Trail Road and the Seaboard Railroad. The historic rail depot at the intersection still stands, and is currently occupied by an auction business. The rail line is now operated by [[CSX Transportation]].
