The 386 acres of land with a man made pond was a hunting preserve of the Belk family until 1965. John Belk realized this land was too far out from the center of Charlotte for the shopping mall that he and George Ivey planned to develop and have their 2 dept. stores anchor. In exchange for this hunting preserve and $1 million, Belk and Ivey got the Harris "backyard" which consisted of 104 acres of dairy farm which is now the site of Southpark Mall. Cameron Wood is named for James Harris's son, Cameron.

Mulvaney Homes bought the land from the Harris family for approximately $10 million UDC bought out Mulvaney Homes & the first home was completed in 1986. In 1995, the remaining home sites sold to David Weekly and the homes were completed in 2000.  There are 804 homes in Cameron Wood.
