Randolph County, County in central North Carolina, United States.
Randolph County is a county in central North Carolina that spreads across land between the cities of Asheboro, Archdale, Liberty, and Randleman. The territory is connected by roads that link its various towns and communities together.
The area was established in 1779 as a separate county from Guilford County and took its name from Peyton Randolph, the first president of the Continental Congress. This naming choice honors a key figure from the American independence movement.
Twenty different townships maintain their individual traditions through regular community gatherings, agricultural fairs, and local craft exhibitions across the county.
Asheboro, the county seat, serves as the center for government services, schools, and shopping. The town offers well-developed facilities and services that connect the region together.
The area is home to a major zoo where animals from North America and Africa live in large natural habitats. This park draws many visitors to the region.
