Alamance was the site of the largest conflict of the War of the Regulation on May 16, 1771. Governor William Tryon's decisive victory over a force of 2,000 Regulators effectively ended the war (Battle of Alamance). The region around Alamance was also the site of a defeat of British Loyalists in the American Revolutionary War in a skirmish known as Pyle's Massacre on February 25, 1781.

Alamance played a significant role in the development of the textile industry in the South. In 1837 Edwin Michael Holt, son of a local farmer, built the Alamance Cotton Mill at Alamance. In 1849, Holt began converting this spinning mill into a looming mill that produced the well-known "Alamance Plaids." This was the first factory-dyed cotton cloth produced south of the Potomac.[6] The Holt family subsequently built scores of mills across the state, as well as becoming involved in banking, railroads, politics and other ventures.[7]

The Alamance Battleground State Historic Site, Alamance Mill Village Historic District, L. Banks Holt House, and Altamahaw Mill Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8]

The name is said to have been given by German settlers, from the Native American word allamanca.[9]
