Abstract:

For most of its history, Rougemont, in far northern Durham County, has been a place to graze cows and goats and grow crops like tobacco and corn. And not much has changed. But this year, Election Day could mark the start of a new era for Rougemont, if voters allow it. After decades of working for the opportunity, the community's registered voters will decided whether Rougemont should become a town of its own.
