Parkton, North Carolina is located in Robeson County, within the Lumberton metropolitan area, in central North Carolina. The small town has a population of around 5,000 people, and is the location of a number of businesses, including a bank, a restaurant, a park, and playground, and a general store. The small town is also the site of the famous Lumberton Railroad depot. The town is named after William Parkton, who was an early settler of the area. His family owned a farm on the Lumber River, and during the colonial days they made sure their livestock was kept well-maintained by making sure that they kept a supply of wood on hand. The railroad connection to the town occurred at some time during the early 1900’s. Click here for facts about Fayetteville, NC.

The Lumberton area is quite a bit more rural than Parkton, so you will probably need to use public transportation if you are traveling with a group of people. Most of the major cities in Robeson County have bus service available to any of the numerous smaller towns that line the Robeson Valley. One of my favorite things about living in Parkton, NC, compared to other smaller communities is the fact that all of the roads, even the country roads, are in excellent shape. This means that there is less chance for road debris to be left behind when vehicles are leaving town, which is very convenient for those who enjoy backwoods travel.
