About SanFordnc.net
The Town of Sanford was incorporated in Moore County on February 11, 1874 - 31 years before the creation of Lee County. The stimulus for growth provided by Sanford, along with the towns of Broadway and Jonesboro led to the birth of Lee County in 1907. Lee County was formed with portions of Moore and Chatham Counties, the county seat being a point equal-distance between Sanford and Jonesboro. Sanford itself sprung up from the crossing of the Western and Chatham Railroads.
