History of Hickory

The Catawba Native American Nation resided in the Hickory area prior to European settlement. The first European settlers arrived in the 1750s. In the 1850s, Henry Robinson built a tavern under a huge hickory tree, which provided a gathering spot and became informally known as "Hickory Tavern". The name "Hickory" was officially adopted in 1859 when the town was incorporated. Learn more about Hickory's history on the City of Hickory website.
