Statesville

City and administrative headquarters of Iredell County, west-central North Carolina, in the Piedmont, 64 km/40 mi north of Charlotte; population (1990) 17,600. An industrial centre in a dairying and tobacco producing region, it manufactures tobacco products, textiles, furniture, metal products, machinery, processed foods, and flour.
