<strong>Robeson</strong> <strong>County</strong> (<strong>Images</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>) (K. Blake Tyner) The history <strong>of</strong> <strong>Robeson</strong> <strong>County</strong> reaches farther back than its creation in 1787 and reflects the impressive story <strong>of</strong> North Carolina. Carved out <strong>of</strong> the fertile farmlands on the border between North and South Carolina, <strong>Robeson</strong> is the Tarheel StateÃs largest county at 948 square miles. It has been called ìThe State <strong>of</strong> <strong>Robeson</strong>î not only because <strong>of</strong> its size but also because <strong>of</strong> the fierce independence and selfreliance <strong>of</strong> its people. The county is unique in its almost equally balanced triracial population. The residentsóNative <strong>America</strong>n, African <strong>America</strong>n, and whiteóhave worked together over the centuries to create a culturally diverse community. Agriculture and textiles abound in the countyÃs past, as well as transportation innovations, like the largest wartime glider air base ever built. Indeed, <strong>Robeson</strong> <strong>County</strong>Ãs citizens have served in every <strong>America</strong>n conflict from the Revolutionary War on, including its own internal waróthe Lowery Warówhich lasted 10 years.
