Pineville (/ˈpaɪnvɪl/; locally /ˈpaɪnvəl/) is a suburban town in the southernmost portion of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, United States.

Pineville became known as a mule trading center during the time of the Charlotte 'gold rush'.

The growth of Pineville was greatly changed through the initial segment of I-485 opening to traffic.

Although the one-mile (1.6 km) stretch connecting interchanges at NC Highway 51 and South Boulevard was designed to divert through traffic around Charlotte via a freeway loop, I-485 incidentally passed through Pineville's town limits.

In the years to follow, largely undeveloped land adjacent to Pineville's two I-485 interchanges, developed into what is now the largest shopping district in North Carolina.

His home is no longer standing, but an original cabin from that time period is kept there, symbolic of the one he was born in.

There is a main house, a cookhouse, and a log barn, and tours are available by costumed guides.

First Lady of U.S. at the time, Ladybird Johnson, came to Pineville to dedicate the new state site.

The state of North Carolina moved the monument from its original location in 1964.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 6.62 square miles (17.1 km2), all land.
