Serving McAdenville from Our Belmont Location
McAdenville is a small Gaston County town situated along the South Fork Catawba River, known worldwide as Christmas Town USA. According to Wikipedia, the town was incorporated in 1883 and named after Rufus Yancey McAden, who served as president of McAden Mills. The Christmas lights tradition began in 1956 with assistance from Pharr Yarns, and today more than 600,000 vehicles visit each year to see the displays.
We’re based in Belmont, approximately 10 minutes from McAdenville via NC-7. The town is located between Cramerton and Lowell, with easy access via I-85 exit 23. McAdenville Lake, formed by a dam on the South Fork River in central McAdenville, is a focal point of the community and the Christmas displays.
The McAdenville Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, recognizing the town’s heritage as one of the finest examples of Southern mill village architecture. We appreciate serving a community with such deep roots and strong traditions.

What McAdenville Homeowners Should Know
McAdenville has characteristics that create specific HVAC considerations for homeowners:
Christmas Town USA Heritage
A Holiday Tradition Since 1956
McAdenville’s Christmas lights tradition started in 1954 when four Pharr Yarns employees decorated a tree in front of the main mill office. By 1956, the local Men’s Club expanded the project. CBS journalist Charles Kuralt, a North Carolina native, coined the name “Christmas Town USA” in a 1980 TV special that brought national attention to the displays.
HVAC Impact: December visitors mean heating systems must be reliable; homes in the spotlight
Historic Mill Village
National Register Historic District
McAdenville was founded as a textile manufacturing center when Rufus Y. McAden purchased land along the South Fork River in 1880. In 1883, Thomas Edison was hired to build a hydroelectric generator to power the mill and mill houses, making McAdenville a pioneer in electric lighting.
HVAC Impact: Historic homes may need system updates; mix of home ages and styles
Pharr Yarns Legacy
Community-Minded Company Town
William Pharr purchased the mills in 1939 and moved to McAdenville, becoming an active resident. Pharr Yarns remains the town’s largest employer and continues to underwrite the Christmas lights tradition. The company’s community involvement extends to the Pharr Family YMCA, formerly the McAdenville Community Center.
HVAC Impact: Strong community identity; mix of company-maintained and private properties
Lake and River Setting
McAdenville Lake Location
McAdenville Lake, formed by a dam on the South Fork River, sits in the center of town and serves as a focal point for the Christmas displays. The lake and river setting creates a scenic environment but can also mean humidity variations affecting home comfort.
HVAC Impact: Humidity control and proper dehumidification considerations
Growing Village
McAdenville Village Development
The newer portion of town, McAdenville Village, is located between McAdenville Elementary School and the lake. Residents in this area are known for elaborate Christmas decorations. The town has approximately 890 residents in about 330 households.
