Cleveland County, North Carolina

Common card · No. 462681

Cleveland County is a county located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the western Piedmont, on the southern border of the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2020 census, the population was 99,519. Its county seat is Shelby. Cleveland County comprises the Shelby-Kings Mountain, NC Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Charlotte-Concord, NC-SC Combined Statistical Area. After the county abolished its eleven townships in 2009, the United States Census Bureau began treating the entire county as a single nonfunctioning, nongovernmental county subdivision named Cleveland. This arrangement is similar to Arlington County, Virginia, where the Census Bureau recognizes a single pseudo minor civil division encompassing the entire county.
