The county was formed in 1779 from Tryon County; and, it was named for Benjamin Lincoln, a general in the American Revolutionary War. During the American Revolution, the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill occurred near a grist mill in Lincolnton in the summer of 1780. A few months later, the Battle of Cowan’s Ford occurred where Lincoln and Mecklenburg County meet at the basin of the Catawba River.
