Spencer Mountain is located at the foothills of a mountainous ridge in Gaston County and was settled in 1772 by Zachariah Spencer. One of the first businesses in the area was Hoffman’s Grist Mill which began operation in 1874 and later became Spencer Mountain Mills. Today Pharr Yarns, Incorporated, located on the north side of the Mountain, principally produces orlon and nylon yarns. Spencer Mountain was incorporated in 1963.
