History
The census-designated place had previously been an incorporated town, one of the oldest in Rowan County. It was originally chartered in 1877 but lost its incorporation in 1974. People assumed the town was not incorporated, but the charter was still active. After the Rowan County Board of Elections ordered election of town officials in 1973, the people asked to decide whether to remain incorporated, and they voted 84-41 against.
A movement to re-incorporate Enochville started in 2003, but it has been opposed by the nearby city of Kannapolis. A bill to incorporate the town was introduced in the state legislature in 2009, but it failed to make it out of committee.
Near Enochville is the Corriher Grange Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Gen. William Kerr House is another local property listed on the NRHP. Enochville is the birthplace of veteran 20th century radio and television actress Elvia Allman.
