Stumptown USA!
Matthews was first known as Stumptown, because of the remains of the forests that covered this section before it was settled. The name changed to Fullwood for Mr. John M. Fullwood who operated the Stagecoach Inn and became the first postmaster in 1825. In 1874 a railroad was built through the town connecting it to Charlotte and Monroe. The name was changed to Matthews in honor of Mr. Watson Matthews, a director of the railroad. The town was incorporated in 1872 and the first census in 1880 showed a population of 191.
Some of the many events and activities in Matthews include ArtFest, Auto Reunion, Golf Classic, Matthews Alive Festival, The Stumptown Festival and more.
