* Politically, Richmond County has leaned Democrat in most elections over the last 20 years, however, in 2016, Donald Trump would be the first Republican to win it since Richard Nixon in 1972.
* East Rockingham is mostly an extension of Rockingham, while Dobbins Heights is an extension of Hamlet.
* Ellerbe is perhaps best known as the one-time home of professional wrestler André the Giant, who owned a nearby ranch. His ashes were scattered on his ranch after his death.
* Mackall Auxiliary Airfield and Luzon Drop Zone are located east of Hoffman.
