Chambersburg Township is a township in Iredell County, North Carolina, United States. [2] The 2010 United States Census reported a total population of 11,344. [1]
Chambersburg Township covers an area of 48.4 square miles (125.36 km2), and of this, 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), or 0.62 percent, is water. [1]
Chambersburg Township lies within the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin. [7] Bodies of water within Chambersburg Township include the following. [8] This is not a complete list.
The Enola Post Office (1858-1872) was established west of Statesville at the intersection of the Western Road and Georgia Road when the Western North Carolina Railroad was completed in 1858. The first postmaster was Robert Wallace Leslie (1835-1894). [29] The Enola Post Office was used in enumeration of residents in the 1860 and 1870 U.S. Federal Census. The postal route covered residents north of the rail line to the South Yadkin River and south of the rail line in School District 51. While the name "Enola" is reported to have come from a popular novel of the day (Enola; Or, Her Fatal Mistake [30] by Mary Young Ridenbaugh, published in 1886), it most likely predates this book. "Enola" is "Alone" spelled backwards. Although the Enola Post Office was discontinued in 1872, Thomas J. Conger established a post office there in 1889, called Conger's. Conger's was discontinued in 1880. The main post office and rail station east of Statesville was later known as Elmwood. [31] [32]
The community of Vance was located in Chambersburg Springs Township from 1882-1901 with William W. Turner (1844-1926) as first post master. [9] [12] [33]
Cemeteries exist within the boundaries of Chambersburg Township at the following locations. [8] This is not to be considered a complete list.
