Bessemer City has a name that reflects its industrial heritage. According to Wikipedia, the city was named for Sir Henry Bessemer, who created the Bessemer process for smelting iron. The area was settled as early as 1756, but the city was officially founded in 1893 when John Askew Smith purchased 1,700 acres and petitioned the North Carolina legislature to incorporate the town.
