===Townships===
By the requirements of the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, all counties in North Carolina were divided into townships. Previous to that time, the subdivisions in Iredell County were Captain's Districts. While the Captain's Districts referred primarily to the militia, it served also for the election precinct, the tax listing and tax collecting district.<ref name='Constitution'>{{cite web| url=https://www.ncleg.net/library/Documents/Constitution_1868.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130919003045/http://www.ncleg.net/library/Documents/Constitution_1868.pdf |archive-date=September 19, 2013 |url-status=live|title=North Carolina Constitution of 1868|access-date=May 19, 2019}}</ref><ref name="TaxList"/>
