History


By the requirements of the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, the county was divided into townships. Previous to that time, the subdivisions were Captain's Districts. While the Captain's Districts referred primarily to the militia, it served also for the election precinct, the tax listing and tax collecting district.[4]Turnersburg Township has been used since 1870 as a census district.[3]


Both the town of Turnersburg and Turnersburg township were named for the family of Wilfred Dent Turner (1855-1933), a lawyer, legislator, lieutenant governor, and businessman born in the town of Turnersburg.[7]
