As of the2020 census,the population was 15,405.[4]From the late nineteenth century through much of the 20th, the city was a center of textile mills and manufacturing. The city was incorporated in 1967 through the consolidation of three towns: Leaksville, Spray, and Draper.[5][6]

History

[edit]
Leaksville (now Eden) station of Danville and Western Railroad, 1912

By the mid-eighteenth century, the territory of present-day Eden was within a 70,000-acre (280 km2)estateowned byWilliam Byrd II,aplanterofVirginiaand North Carolina. He originally called his estate "The Land of Eden".[7]

During the last years of his life, William Byrd II dreamed of bringing large numbers of Swiss Protestants to the "Land of Eden"; he eventually acquired more than 100,000 acres (400 km2) in Virginia. He envisioned an industrious, self-sufficient colony that would thrive on the abundance of the frontier. Byrd's dream was not to be realized. After years of negotiations, at least one boatload of Swiss did sail for "The Land of Eden" from Europe, but it was shipwrecked in a December gale off the coast of Virginia. None of the few survivors are believed to have reached Eden. Byrd died August 26, 1744. By that time, the "Land of Eden" began to be surrounded by small farms held by a wave of poorScotch-Irishimmigrants, whom Byrd had compared to the "Goths and Vandals."[citation needed][8]

"Eden" was inherited by William Byrd III, who shared none of his father's dreams of colonization. Young Byrd married Elizabeth Hill Carter in 1748. He sought to dispose of Eden to gain cash to support his grand lifestyle. He was finally successful on November 8, 1755, when he sold 26,000 acres (110 km2) in North Carolina to Simon and Francis Farley, two merchant brothers from the island ofAntigua.By this time, yeoman settlement in the area was increasing at a considerable pace. The Farley brothers attempted to create plantations on some of the richest acres, but more frequently, settlers squatted on the land and built homesteads. In 1762 James Parke Farley, son of Francis Farley, went to Williamsburg to attend theCollege of William and Mary.He married Elizabeth Hill Byrd, daughter of William Byrd III and Elizabeth Hill Carter.[citation needed]

Many later settlers migrating to the Dan River Area knew little of William Byrd. They were familiar with an old Indian village in the area near Town Creek and the Farley holdings. This location became the center of settlement, and the 26,000 acres (110 km2) came to be called the Sauratown tract. In 1775, James Parke Farley and his new bride moved from cosmopolitanWilliamsburg, Virginia,to Sauratown.[citation needed]

In the century that Sauratown was in existence, many families settled in the "Land of Eden", and their descendants have stayed in the area, including the Brodnax, Dillard, Ruffin, Morehead, Henry, and Winston families. Many Scots also settled in the area, including the Galloway, Scales, Watt, Lenox, Campbell, and Moir families. Other notable residents of the county include GeneralLighthorse Harry Lee.[citation needed]

20th century to present

[edit]

Following previous unsuccessful referendums, on September 12, 1967, residents of Leaksville, Draper, Spray, and the unincorporated Meadows Greens Sanitary District voted to consolidate their communities, 2,252 to 1,753 with 60 percent of eligible voters participating. Of these, 784 elected to call the new city Eden,a termsurveyorWilliam Byrd IIhad used to describe the region in the 1700s. The consolidation took immediate effect, and Eden became the largest city in Rockingham County.[9]

  • In 1970, the city had considerable growth.
  • In 2000, city population grew to 15,908.
  • In 2010, theUS Censuspopulation was 15,527.
  • In 2014, 39,000 thousand tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated waterspilled into the Dan Rivernear Eden from a coal-fired power plant owned byDuke Energy.[10]

In the late 1990s and early 2000s the local economy suffered due to the closure of several textile mills- an expected byproduct of theNorth American Free Trade Agreement.Fieldcrest Cannon laid off hundreds of corporate staff in the 1990s, Pluma closed its plant in 1999, and Spray Cotton Mills closed its yarn mill in 2001, and Pillowtex folded in 2003. Some former workers moved to larger cities in search of jobs.[11]The decline of textiles left theMiller Brewing Company's facility the town's flagship industry, but it announced its closure in 2015. The loss of the brewery and the textile mills had a knock-off effect on local retail stores, many of which closed due to the loss of customers and competition from national chains such asWalmart.[12]

On the third weekend of September; Eden hosts the annual River Fest each year to celebrate Eden's history. TheBoone Road Historic District,Bullard-Ray House,Cascade Plantation,Central Leaksville Historic District,Dempsey-Reynolds-Taylor House,First Baptist Church,Dr. Franklin King House-Idlewild,Leaksville Commercial Historic District,Leaksville-Spray Institute,Lower Sauratown Plantation,Mt.

B. Frank Mebane, who had married into the prominent Morehead family, started the first of his six textile mills in the area in 1893.Marshall Fieldtook over the company in 1912 and named it Fieldcrest. The company made textile products that included bedding: sheets and blankets. It employed more than 3000 people. After taking overCannon Millsin 1986, the company became known asFieldcrest Cannon;it later moved its headquarters and 110 employees toKannapolis, North Carolina.Changes and restructuring were affecting the textile industry throughout the South, as companies moved manufacturing operations to areas with cheaper labor, including offshore.[22][23][24]

In 1997 Fieldcrest Cannon was sold toPillowtex.Pillowtex closed its Eden plants in 2003, laying off the last 495 textile workers.[25][26]

Miller Brewing Companyran a brewery in Eden into the early 21st century. In 2012 it still employed nearly seven hundred people, and produced nine million barrels annually.[27]Miller announced in 2015 that it was shutting down the brewery by September 2016.[28]In September 2020, it was announcedNestle Purinawill move into the old MillerCoors facility and will open in 2022.[29]

In February 2017, it was announced that the European-based German grocery storeLidlhad broken ground on a store in Eden. It was expected to open in early 2018.[30]As of April, 2019, the store had not opened.[31]

In 1980, the Eden Mall, an approximately 400,000 square feet shopping center, was constructed. The mall began to decline in the late 1990s when itsKmartstore closed. More stores began to shut down, culminating in the departures ofPeeblesin 2008 andBelkin 2015. The mall's physical condition deteriorated over the following years. It was sold in 2013 and subsequently leased out to local businesses.[32]In the late 2010s, the mall gained media attention and became an example of a "Dead mall"due to lack of stores in the mall and had no anchors left,[33]the mall closed to the public in early 2020s.
