The city of Kannapolis was first settled in the year 1906 by James William Cannon who bought land within the region and built the Cannon Mills Company, that eventually became the biggest manufacturer of household textile in the world. The city of Kannapolis was named after the company. The mill village that developed provided the mill's employees with low rents and utilities, and many free municipal services, like maintenance and garbage collection. The employees were not required to pay taxes.

Bakers Creek Park is a popular recreation area with trails, a playground, miniature golf, picnic shelters, horseshoe pits, tennis courts, volleyball courts and ballfields.
