Established in 1783 as the county seat, Wadesboro was called New Town until 1787 when the name was changed to honor Revolutionary War patriot Col. Thomas Wade. Wade's brother-in-law, Patrick Boggan, was a pioneer settler. Future president Andrew Jackson was issued his license to practice law from the County Court of Anson; and future judge Samuel Spencer's first law office was in the new log courthouse. In 1900, scientists from the United States and Europe gathered in Wadesboro to observe a total eclipse of the sun.
 

Anson County, once the largest in the state with a border on the Mississippi River, was carved from Bladen County in 1750. It was named for Lord George Anson, a British admiral.
