Abstract:

Randolph County was known as \"The Covered Bridge County,\" because it was home to over sixty covered bridges in the early 1900s. This amount was significantly more than other counties. By the 1980s, Randolph had two out of the four covered bridges left in the state. A new covered bridge was constructed over an artificial pond in Randolph County c.1986, but not in the traditional sense. The new bridge housed the first Covered Bridge Eatery and Pizza Parlor in North Carolina.
