Rocky Mount’s shops, stores and banks have provided many local and county residents with an opportunity for employment and a place for conduct of commerce. The Town’s industrial base expanded, aided by the large quantity of "useable land of gentle slope and abundant water" in and around the Town.
Today, Rocky Mount is the center of trade and industry for the entire county. Equally important, it is a center of regional trade for those persons that reside between Roanoke to the north and Martinsville to the south.

With our current economic base and our Town's picturesque streets, Rocky Mount is a wonderful place to come for a visit. You just may decide to stay.
