Originally the settlement was called White Plains, but the city was incorporated on October 16, 1874, and the name was changed. It was decided that "Kings Mountain" would be a more appropriate name since the community was close to the site of the historic 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain in York County, South Carolina, a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. The Battle of Kings Mountain was proclaimed as "the turning point of the American Revolution" by Thomas Jefferson.


Liberty Mountain, a play performed at the local theater, recounts the events of the battle. The downtown area is home to the museum, police station, and the Mauney Memorial Library. The Central School Historic District, King Street Overhead Bridge, Margrace Mill Village Historic District, Jacob S.
