Abstract:

Spanning 537 square miles and containing an average elevation of 1,000 feet, Surrey County was established in 1771, from a section of land taken from Rowan County. Sustained through agricultural, lumber, and minor industrial efforts, Surrey residents enjoy a mild Piedmont climate and a 190 day growing season.
