Town of Cramerton, NC

🚧 Your Tax Dollars at Work 🚧

Maintaining safe, reliable roads is one of the many ways the Town of Cramerton invests in our community.

Earlier this year, the Town completed a comprehensive Pavement Condition Survey to assess the condition of every town-maintained street. As part of the study, a pavement condition map was created with an easy-to-understand, color-coded guide that allows residents to quickly see how roads throughout town were rated.

Using the recommendations from the survey, we have begun a repaving program that prioritizes streets with the greatest need first.

This data-driven approach helps ensure your tax dollars are invested wisely and where they will have the greatest impact.

June has arrived and that leaves us only 1 month left as we continue to countdown to 250! This week we travel to Town of Cramerton, NC to visit the Stuart W Cramer 1868-1940 marker located at the intersection of Wilkinson Boulevard (U.S. 74) and Lakewood Road. Erected in 1969, it reads “Engineer and inventor. Pioneered advances in textile mill air conditioning. Home 3 mi. SW.”

Stuart Warren Cramer contributed significantly to the cotton mill industry through his engineering and invention skills. In 1895 he established his own business and, over the next ten years, designed and equipped over 150 (or roughly one-third of all) cotton mills in the South.

Cramer turned his profits back into his own mills, especially those in the community that came to bear his name, Cramerton. Hailed in the trade press as a “model community,” the mill village southeast of Gastonia had been known as Mayesworth for its founder J. H. Mayes. In 1915 Cramer acquired controlling interest of the company and in 1922 the name was changed.

Most significant about Stuart W. Cramer is the role he played in the development of air conditioning. In a paper read before an ACMA convention on May 16-17, 1906, Cramer coined the term “air conditioning.”
