The Loyalist force of 1,100 men, led by Major Patrick Ferguson, sent there by British general Lord Cornwallis to protect his army's left flank when he attempted to invade North Carolina, was surrounded by some 900 Patriots under Isaac Shelby, John Sevier and William Campbell on October 9, 1780 and after a bitter fight, in which Ferguson and 157 of his men had been killed and 163 severely wounded, they surrendered.

The outcome of the battle made Cornwallis fall back to Winnsboro South Carolina, abandoning the invasion of North Carolina.

Look at what businesses are needed in your area or future area of desired location. America is becoming very obese, so anything food related is a good start.

Where was the battle of kings mountain fought in?

The battle took place in South Carolina, about eight miles south of the city of Kings Mountain, North Carolina (which is named for the battle - not the other way around), and six or eight miles east of Blacksburg, South Carolina. Contrary to popular recollections (such as Wikipedia), the battle did not happen on the mountain that's called Kings Mountain, but on an insignificant hill a few miles away. The battle took place there because it's where the Over Mountain Men caught up to Major Patrick Ferguson. It's called the Battle of Kings Mountain because it happened near the mountain (not ON the mountain, as Wikipedia reports). You can get more information about the area at
