Abstract:

The town of Red Springs in Robeson County was named for the mineral springs that stained containers when Scotsmen first settled the area. With a racial mix of blacks, whites, and the Lumbee Indians, the town is also called North Carolina’s melting pot. This article discusses the history of Red Springs and highlights several of its residents and attractions.
