Around 1820, Charles Shaw, a first generation Scottish settler, acquired 2,500 acres of land that was to become Southern Pines. The town was built through the desire of North Carolina’s first commissioner of immigration, James T. Patrick, to draw newcomers to the state. Purchasing 675 acres from Charles Shaw and utilizing the present railroad, Patrick laid out the town to entice the weary northern travelers to take a break from their long trip to Florida. With the railroad running through the middle of town, served by Amtrak and the streets named for the northern states, Patrick lived to see the town of Southern Pines become a thriving community. One of the most outstanding families settling in Southern Pines was the Boyd family. Novelist and publisher, James Boyd, initiated many equestrian and literary pursuits that still benefit the community to this day.
