==History==
Alamance was the site of the largest conflict of the War of the Regulation on May 16, 1771. Governor William Tryon's decisive victory over a force of 2,000 Regulators effectively ended the war. The region around Alamance was also the site of a defeat of British Loyalists in the American Revolutionary War in a skirmish known as Pyle's Massacre on February 25, 1781.
Alamance played a significant role in the development of the textile industry in the South. In 1837 Edwin Michael Holt, son of a local farmer, built the Alamance Cotton Mill at Alamance. Holt's mill produced the well-known "Alamance Plaids", the first factory-dyed cotton cloth produced south of the Potomac.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alamance Cotton Mill Marker )〕 The Holt family subsequently built scores of mills across the state, as well as becoming involved in banking, railroads, politics and other ventures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alamance Cotton Factory )〕
The Alamance Battleground State Historic Site, Alamance Mill Village Historic District, L. Banks Holt House, and Altamahaw Mill Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
