History in
a Pecan Shell
Originally,
Rocky Mound was a Black community centered around a school in the
late 1890s. A church was added sometime prior to 1908.
Rocky Mound never seems to have developed a town center but by the
end of WWII,
the community had added another church and a cemetery. It incorporated
in the 1970s and by the 1980 census, Rocky Mound reported a population
of 123 which has since decline to less than 100 residents. |
