==History==
High Shoals was the location of the High Shoals Iron Works, founded by Swiss-born John Fulenwider in about 1795. Fulenwider developed one of the earliest methods of making pig iron with the charcoal process. During the War of 1812, his High Shoals ironworks produced cannonballs for use by the United States Army. Fulenwider died in 1826 and is buried at High Shoals cemetery. The ironworks he developed remained in operation until 1875.〔(North Carolina Highway Marker O-54 ) (primary sources listed at that site). Retrieved on 2008-07-05.〕
In the last decade of the 19th century, the community of High Shoals became totally owned by High Shoals Mills, a textile company founded by Charlotte industrialist Daniel A. Tompkins.〔(Biography of Daniel Augustus Thompkins ), from the ''Dictionary of North Carolina Biography'', edited by William S. Powell. Copyright 1979-1996 by the University of North Carolina Press.〕
Eventually, the mill homes were sold to private owners. High Shoals was incorporated on November 6, 1973, the most-recently incorporated municipality in Gaston County.〔(Gaston County Official Government Website: Municipalities )〕
