Cool Springs Township is a non-functioning administrative division of Iredell County, North Carolina, United States. By the requirements of the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, the counties were divided into townships, which included Cool Springs township as one of sixteen townships in Iredell County.[1][2][3][4]
History
There were very few residents in the area of this township from US Revolutionary times until before the Civil War. A road was established from Statesville to Mocksville that passed through the township in 1829. This road followed what is now U.S. Highway 64. The oldest home in the township that was still standing in 2022 was the Dr. John Richard Barr Adams (1820-1901) home, built in 1817. Dr. Adams was elected to the North Carolina House of Commons in 1852 and 1854 from Iredell County. The area was named for cool springs, which originated in the area, including one active spring that still feeds 5th creek. There was a post office in Cool Springs as early as 1852. The first postmaster was Marshall Turner. The post office was used until June 1865 when it closed. There were mills on the 5th Creek as early as 1868. There was a Cool Springs academy in the early 1900s. Fred Houpe operated a general store in Cools Spring in the early 1900s.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
The communities of Oak Forest was located in Cool Springs Township from 1837 to 1907 with John B. Belt as the first postmaster.[6][8][12]
