Granite Quarry, North Carolina

Granite Quarry is a town in Rowan County, North Carolina, United States.

The name was officially changed to Woodsides when the town was incorporated on March 7, 1901, by the North Carolina General Assembly.

[4] The Michael Braun House and Granite Quarry School are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[5] Though town officials have been working to change this since 1990, residents and businesses who get their mail delivered have a Salisbury address because the Granite Quarry post office only has boxes, not delivery.

A proposal rejected by the Postal Service would have allowed a Granite Quarry address but a Salisbury zip code.

[6] In early November 2015, with the help of U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, the town persuaded the Postal Service make the change.

[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2), all land.
