One of the most notable of Charlotte's many celebrations was the 39th Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans on June 4 through 7, 1929. This is the event for which the Armory-Auditorium was hastened to completion. Eleven Confederate Generals joined in issuing a statement declaring the Charlotte Reunion to be the best in every way of any of the preceding 38 reunions. The reunion was climaxed on Friday the 7th with a huge parade witnessed by many notables, made up of nearly a score of bands, military units, and visiting veterans in automobiles.

Charlotte's first automobile show was held the week of April 11, 1921, in the Standard Oil Building, located on the corner of West First Street and Cedar Street. Forty-nine cars and trucks were exhibited by 47 dealers, and there were exhibits by 14 accessory firms. Among cars exhibited were Ford, Veilie, Maxwell, Buick, Cleveland, Davis, Oakland, Chevrolet, Briscoe, Nash, Dort, Essex, Paige, Stutz, Gardner, Willys-Knight, Studebaker, and Milburn Electric.

The confusion over the spelling and pronunciation of the name of this well-known Mecklenburg County creek is due to the difficulty of translating the sound of an unwritten Indian word into written English.
 
This creek undoubtedly takes its name from the Sugeree Indians (John Lawson's spelling) or Sugaree Indians (Douglas L. Rights' spelling). The name was pronounced Sugaw or Soogaw, according to William Henry Foote.
 

In 1902 there was published, by the authority of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, and compiled by Clarkson & Duls, City Attorneys, The Code of the City of Charlotte, containing The Charter and all Acts amending it, and also the act providing for the establishments of Public Schools and the amendments thereof; act creating Water Commissioners; Primary Law and Election Law for the City of Charlotte, and all other acts pertaining specially to the government of the city, together with ordinances and street railway contracts, etc. etc.
