Knightdale has always had lush outdoor spaces throughout its history that were highly sought after. The town's land was originally occupied by Tuscarora Native Americans for hunting grounds and temporary settlement. John Lawson of the Carolina Colony in 1701 explored the land and reported its beautiful landscape to George II, the King of England at the time, who saw an opportunity for additional colonial settlement. Settlers arrived, creating a little village across the land, and three plantations are still standing today offering residents insight into their town's history: The Oaks, Beaver Dam Plantation, and Midway. Knightdale was finally incorporated in 1927 and has been growing bit by bit over the years.
