Abstract:
Traditionally an agricultural region, dominated by tobacco production, Stokes County is transforming into a modern constituency. Established in 1789, Stokes County encompasses 458 square miles or 283,120 acres. Containing its very own mountain range as well as two rivers that traverse the landscape, Stokes County is a popular tourist attraction in warmer months, offering a resort centered on Hanging Rock. Outside of tourism, revenue flows into Stokes County from brick manufacturing, rich mineral deposits, agriculture, livestock, lumber, and honey.
