Abstract:

Randolph County at 790 square miles and 125,000 people of one of the state's largest counties. It is the sixth most industrialized county, with manufacturing accounting for 46 percent of the industry. The county boasts the nation's largest walk-through natural habitat zoo at Asheboro. Although large and forward-looking, the county preserves its history with Seagrove pottery, dating from the 1700s; the historic 1909 courthouse; and 1911 covered bridge in Union township, one of only a few remaining in the state.
