Contributed by Carol Robinson Rose Hill had its beginning in 1840 processing naval supplies such as pitch and lumber, following the building of North Carolina's first railroad. Originally located about a mile south of the present town, it was named fro Rosemary because of the stand of Rosemary pine trees which grew abundantly in the area. For the past thirty years, a tremendous growth in the processing and production of poultry and pork has contributed to the economy and well-being of the community. |
