Character

High-rise office towers for Bank of America and Truist share blocks with Romare Bearden Park, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and Bank of America Stadium, giving Uptown a mix of weekday financial-district density and event-driven nightlife on Panthers and Charlotte FC game days.

History

The crossroads of two Native American trading paths, Uptown was chartered in 1768 as the town of Charlotte Towne and grew into the county seat before its 20th-century transformation into a national banking center.
