Dukeville, North Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dukeville is a populated place in Rowan County, North Carolina, United States.
It was built as a mill village along the banks of the Yadkin River in 1926 to house plant employees of the Buck Steam Station, owned by Duke Energy.[1]
In 2014, residents living near the Buck Steam Station in Dukeville were told that "coal ash pits near their homes could be leaching dangerous materials into groundwater."[2] The issue became a documentary film for the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.[3]
