Every
county has a history, but Richmond County has a heritage. The General
Assembly of North Carolina formed Richmond County in October 1779,
naming it after Charles Lennox, the third Duke of Richmond and an
ardent American Revolutionary advocate for the Colonies. Today,
Richmond County's rich heritage can be traced to railroads, historical
homesteads and cemeteries.
Get
ready to experience the true beauty of the outdoors in the Heart of the
Carolinas. Richmond County boasts an extensive list of outdoor
adventures from canoeing and -kayaking to hunting and fishing. No
matter your preference, Richmond County offers a range of activities
that involve the sun on your face, the wind in your hair and the
freedom afforded by the great outdoors.
The high-octane sport of stock car racing was born in North Carolina, and in 1965, big-time auto racing turned Richmond County into a racing hotbed with the opening of Rockingham Speedway. Just across the street resides the Rockingham Dragway, a multi-purpose drag racing facility and host to the fastest drag racing professionals in the country.
