History

Sheffield was established in 1893 by Thomas M. Smith, who built a store and opened a post office. Mr. Smith continued as the postmaster until January 2, 1907 when the post office was discontinued. Where the name came from has apparently been lost to history. A mercantile was opened in 1948 by Wade and JT Smith, along with a furniture and upholstery business.

heffield today

Sheffield-Calahaln Volunteer Fire Department is the center of the community as in many rural parts of North Carolina. The Community Center is available for public use. Sheffield Pallet Company is the only active business today, but the dance hall opens sporadically and attracts fans of bluegrass and square dance music. The local weekly newspaper, the Davie County Enterprise Record, features a Sheffield-Calahaln news column each week that highlights current events and other community information.
