Matthews, about 11 miles southeast of uptown Charlotte, had 29,435 residents in 2020. It was called Stumptown in the early 1800s, then Fullwood, before becoming Matthews in 1879, named for Edward Matthews, a director of the Central Carolina Railroad. It covers about 17.2 square miles and is the home of Harris Teeter and Family Dollar.
Its long history means a mix of older homes near the center and newer neighborhoods further out. Older homes are where galvanized pipe, cast-iron drains and older sewer laterals are most likely to turn up.
