It is named for the settler who owned much of the land in the area, David Baker. The town is located within the floodplains of the Cane Creek and the town has flooded on several occasions in the past.
The Bakersville Creekwalk is a project that came together after the devastating flood of 1998.
Despite its potential for destruction, Cane Creek is a beautiful natural asset within the town that has been developed to provided a greenway with fishing piers, bridges, and recreational sports fields.
The Town also takes pride in their Rhododendron Festival which is an annual event that started in 1946.
