French influences in Badin Lake Real Estate? You bet! Badin Lake is one of a series of lakes created by the damming of the Uwharrie Lakes Region. It began in 1913, when a French company, L'Aluminium Français, started work on the dam before the outbreak of World War I, the French company and workers had completed a few plant buildings, a clubhouse for single male employees and visitors, a plant manager's residence, and single family residences along Henderson Street. In 1917, the ALCOA Corporation finished what the French has started, investing millions to build a hydropower business along the Yadkin River in central North Carolina. In 1983, Badin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Badin Lake Real Estate is “village-like” with picket fences and gardens common to many North Carolina company towns—but this one has the added feature of French colonial influences.
