A Brief History of Rocky Mount, Virginia

Early pioneers moving southward from the Pennsylvania region and westward from Virginia’s Tidewater area began settling in Rocky Mount at about 1750. As the population of the region increased small settlements began to cluster and become recognizable. Over time, these population centers evolved into political units such as towns and villages. The County of Franklin was formed in 1786 from Bedford and Henry Counties and was named in honor of the Governor of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin. It is one of the few counties in the Commonwealth not named for a person prominent in either British or Virginia history. Rocky Mount derives its name from the predominant rock mount (Bald Knob), that existed when the County became a political entity. Today, Bald Knob still towers over the Town.
