Abstract:

Rocky Mount sits astride the line dividing Nash and Edgecombe counties and is OUR STATE magazine's Tar Heel town of the month. The town is headquarters for a number of businesses, including RBC Centura and Hardee's Food System, and boasts two community colleges, Nash and Edgecombe, and North Carolina Wesleyan College. The town has survived several natural disasters, including the great flood following Hurricane Floyd in 1999.
