Abstract:

Rocky Mount was one of ten cities nationwide named an All-America City by the National Civic League. Morganton and Hickory were finalists. Rocky Mount received the distinction for its community-building approaches to social and economic challenges. The award started in 1949. In the past fifty years twenty-seven North Carolina cities have been named All-America Cities. Only California has more winners with thirty-six.
