Swepsonville, NC

From BR Bullpen

Swepsonville is about 2-3 miles southeast of Burlington, NC in central North Carolina. While the city has never hosted minor league baseball, it was home to the large Virginia Mills that sponsored teams in the very competitive semi-pro Textile Leagues from the 1930s to the 1960s. The ballpark used by those teams is still extant.
