Editing Swepsonville, North Carolina (section)

==History==
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2023}}
Swepsonville was named for the builder of a mill on the western side of town. Swepson disappeared one night with a considerable amount of money and soon established a mill in the North. The old mill, unused for many years, burned down in 1989 in a ten-alarm fire which brought firetrucks from all surrounding counties, was visible from the freeway 3 miles away, and made the national news.

A major league ballplayer, [[Dusty Cooke]], came from Swepsonville. He played for the Yankees, the Red Sox and the Reds from 1930 to 1938, and managed the Phillies in 1948.
