Incorporated on April 10, 1869, La Grange is seated in the coastal plain region of eastern North Carolina; it is equal in distance to the North Carolina coast and the capital city, Raleigh. Prior to 1869, La Grange was known as Moseley Hall, properly named by one of its founders, Matthew Moseley. They settled here because of the rich soil. Tobacco, in particular, was a significant cash crop.

At the very foundation of North Carolina’s history, La Grange has had many state assembly members; the first governor of Florida hailed from La Grange. The area is also known for its agricultural farming, historical homes, and several small-town businesses.
