Established in 1791 when neighboring Caswell County was cut into two squares, Person County shares its northern border with the state of Virginia. Its 400 square-miles are home to several rivers, many meadows, Lake Hyco and Mayo Lake, two very small mountains, and the headwaters of three basins that provide clean drinking water to southern and eastern areas of North Carolina. The town of Roxboro is well known for its rich history and community spirit. It's a place where people care about both the past and the future and invite you to come celebrate the best time of all—the present.
