Misenheimer, North Carolina

Misenheimer is an incorporated village in Stanly County, North Carolina, United States.

In 1825, Matthias Tobias Barringer discovered gold nuggets along a section of Long Creek that ran through his farm.

[5] One of the first actions taken by the interim board was to block heavy industry such as re-opening the former Barringer gold mine by Joe Carter, who owned about 250 acres, or about a fourth of the village land,[6] but did not live in the community.

[7][8] Misenheimer has a mayor-council government with five total council members serving staggered four-year terms.

The local legislation creating the city specified that elections were to be held in even-numbered years, while the rest of the state always uses odd-numbered ones.
