Knightdale has a recorded heritage that dates back to the colonial era in American history. For many years Knightdale was a crossroads served only by a post office. Near the end of the 19th century, many citizens of this area saw the need to establish a town. One of these people was Mr. Henry Haywood Knight who donated some of his vast land holdings in the area to the Norfolk and Southern Railroad Company in the hopes that a railroad would come to Knightdale. The railroad would provide freight and passenger service, and would facilitate the incorporation of the communityof Knightdale. After his death in 1904, the railroad finally came to the community that would bear his name then life and commerce in Knightdale began to move at a faster pace. Helped along by the baby boom following World War II, the population of Knightdale grew at a steady pace, but it retained its small town atmosphere.
