Gaston County

Gaston County is just west of Mecklenburg County in North Carolina, Mecklenburg holding Charlotte, the state's largest city. Gaston County is very small compared to Mecklenburg, but still has a few towns, such as Bessemer City, Cherryville, Mount Holly, and of course, Gastonia. Gaston County was founded in 1846, and currently hold a population of around 228,000. *I'm very sorry for the low image quality, this was the only one i could find.
