== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Rowan County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* East Spencer was named for the Spencer shops that opened in the area in 1896. These days, it's mostly a heavily-black extension of Spencer itself.
* Since 1946, Faith has hosted a Fourth of July celebration that has become notably large for a town of its population – running for several days and drawing visitors from many states. The Faith Fourth achieved national visibility in 1992, when President George H. W. Bush not only made a speech praising small town virtues, but also participated in the traditional Fourth of July softball game.
* The county has worked to attract new industries since much of the textile industry moved offshore in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The "250 Fest", celebrating the 250th anniversary of Rowan County, was held in 2003.
* In Western Rowan County south of Mount Ulla is Lazy 5 Ranch.
* The county borders High Rock Lake.
