In the quiet community of Marvin, the residents seek to manage their growth in ways that keep the “small village” feel alive. Since the 1800’s, this area located just outside of Charlotte, continues to be rich with agriculture and gorgeous horse farms. Conveniently located close to downtown Charlotte and the Douglas International Airport, Marvin offers a peaceful setting with glorious open spaces. The recreational opportunities are endless with family celebrations, walking, biking and incredible horse trails to venture through. Marvin is dedicated to assuring the vitality of their equestrian heritage by expanding existing trails and greenways. The community of Marvin was challenged by the town of Indian Trail to be annexed but after many attempts to do so, the village was incorporated on July 1, 1994. This small community won the battle of controlling their own destiny ensuring the preservation of their agriculture and historic horse farms.

The village of Marvin couldn’t be a better place to raise a family with new school buildings just completed and as a Marvin resident, you could take advantage of the low North Carolina college tuition’s being the fifth lowest in the nation.

A little Marvin history lesson...

"In the early twentieth century, two wealthy white sisters, cousins to a North Carolina governor, wrote identical wills that left their substantial homeplace to a black man and his daughter.

Maggie Ross, whose sister Sallie died in 1909, was the richest woman in Union County, North Carolina. Upon Maggie's death in 1920, her will bequeathed her estate to Bob Ross--who had grown up in the sisters' household--and his daughter Mittie Bell Houston. Mittie had also grown up with the well-to-do women, who had shown their affection for her by building a house for her and her husband. This house, along with eight hundred acres, hundreds of dollars in cash, and two of the white family's three gold watches went to Bob Ross and Houston. As soon as the contents of the will became known, more than one hundred of Maggie Ross's scandalized cousins sued to break the will, claiming that its bequest to black people proved that Maggie Ross was mentally incompetent." Above is a quote from an interview with the Author!

To thoroughly enjoy the whole story, like I did, purchase the nonfiction book from Gene Stowe titled "Inherit the Land", you will not regret it!
