History

The town was settled in 1844. In 1850, the North Carolina Legislature created the Carolina Female College in Ansonville. The facility was run by and for the daughters of local planters, and only served white women. Sources differ on when the facility closed exactly; However, all agree the Civil War was the reason for the school's closing, in either 1862 or 1867.[6][7]
