Health Insurance Shelby NC

Shelby is nestled in the southwestern corner of North Carolina near the South Carolina border and is conveniently located between Charlotte and Asheville.

Shelby has the physical infrastructure to accommodate almost any type of industry. The city has changed over time from a traditional industrial structure that consumed relatively large amounts of water to a more modern, diversified, less water-dependent business and industry base has led to ample supplies of water and excess sewer capacity. The terrain in and around the City is well suited for development and offers cost advantages for drainage and sewage collection systems. A favorable geographic location with an excellent transportation network places local businesses within easy reach of population centers and markets in the eastern US. Combining these assets with a productive and reliable workforce, an accommodating business environment, a responsive and cooperative local government, and a distinct and genuine small-town character and quality of life give Shelby a development advantage that few comparably-sized towns can match.

To ensure that its development policies and actions are consistent with community values and responsive to changing needs, the City recently completed a Strategic Growth Plan to deal effectively with anticipated growth and growth-related issues. With extensive public input, a comprehensive set of long-range policies and a prioritized plan of short-term actions were adopted to guide decisions that will keep Shelby as attractive and livable in the future as it is today.

In 1841, Cleveland County was carved from existing Lincoln and Rutherford Counties and named for Colonel Benjamin Cleveland, a Revolutionary War hero at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Shelby's main streets are named for Revolutionary War heroes.

Shelby was incorporated in 1843 and is the county seat of Cleveland County. It is the largest city in the county with a population of over 21,000. The City was designated an "All-American City" in 1970 and was named as one the first national and state "Main Street" communities in 1980.
