Additional County History

From the broad Atlantic Coastal Plain, the land rises to form the Piedmont Crescent that arches its back against the craggy Blue Ridge Mountains. Rowan County lies along the ridge central to the Piedmont and celebrates a diversity of environment that includes the mountains at its back, extensive waterways at its feet, and rolling country between. Salisbury, the county seat, and surrounding municipalities provide the balance between urban and rural lifestyles.³
