While the town of Wesley Chapel, North Carolina, has only been incorporated since 1998, settlers began making their way to the area in the 1750s. They came from Germany, Great Britain, and Pennsylvania and took advantage of the fertile soil. Originally called Price's Mill Community, the name Wesley Chapel first appeared on a Union County map in 1907 and was taken from 1832 built Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church. 

Today the city is ranked as the 6th best place to live in Union County and the 31st best suburb to buy a house in North Carolina by Niche.com.  The population here has grown over 26% since 2020, and for good reasons. Job growth here is expected to increase by almost 45% over the next ten years, and the average household income is already almost double the national average.

Living in such a beautiful place makes spending your free time outside easy. At Dogwood Park, there is much to do for the whole family. If you catch a monster off the fishing pier and want to show off to the town, you can send a picture to the county clerk's office. There is a playground for the kids, a library, trails, geo-caching, and more. True to its name, there is also a dog park.

You'll want to attend the annual Fall Bash held at the park. The Halloween-themed event has face painting, a bounce house, trick-or-treat games, and amazing fair food. Ride the choo-choo train around the lake and participate in the costume contest. There is even an event for four-legged entrants. Grab a team and try and win the main event tug-of-war.
