About Rocky Mount, Virginia
Rocky Mount is a town of 4,903 people and the county seat of Franklin County. Robert Hill put up a block house here in the 1740s as a fortified home and trading post for dealing with Native Americans, but English settlers only came in 1760. They named the place for a steep cliff close by, and two villages, Rocky Mount and Mount Pleasant, grew up side by side.
After the Revolutionary War, the county court first met here in 1786, in James Callaway's home, until Callaway gave the town land for a courthouse built of logs. A post office came in 1795 and the town was laid out in lots in 1804. In 1873 Rocky Mount incorporated, took in Mount Pleasant, and elected former court clerk Robert Scott as its first mayor. It grew from about 400 people in 1870 to about 1100 in 1920.
“Here stands the furnace and ironmaster's house of the Washington Iron Works, Franklin County's first industry.”
- The Washington Iron FurnaceJames Callaway and Jeremiah Early built the furnace on ground that is now Main Street, and by 1836 it gave work to 100 people in a town of about 275. Callaway's heirs and Peter Saunders kept it going until a flood damaged it in 1850. Work to repair it was halted when the Civil War began, and it never ran again.
- Rebuilt after 1889A fire in 1889 burned most of the buildings in town, though Trinity Episcopal Church and its rectory, both from 1874, came through it. A new railroad about 1892, called the Pumpkin Vine for its winding route between Roanoke and Winston-Salem, brought mills and shops. The present Franklin County courthouse followed in 1909, patterned on the Roanoke County courthouse in Salem.
- N. V. Angle's furniture factoryNathanial V. Angle, once a schoolteacher, opened the Bald Knob furniture factory in 1903, and it became the Lane Furniture Company in 1957. By World War I he also owned stores, a lumberyard and the area's first Ford dealership. Working with the WPA, he drained a swamp and turned it into Mary Elizabeth Park, named for his wife.
- Schools built by their ownIn 1915 the town spent $2,200 on an eight-room brick school for white students, while Black residents paid for their own school and dormitory on Bald Knob, outside town. In 1952 the foundation honoring Booker T. Washington's birthplace gave 6 acres for a modern four-room school for Black students. It closed in 1966, and the National Park Service now uses the building for offices.
