Rockwell, NC Overview

The early German settlers of the Rockwell area arrived in the 1760s, although the town was not incorporated until 1911.  Two of the original stone churches that were built in the fledgling community remain as examples of the day’s fine craftsmanship.  In fact, Organ Lutheran Church is distinguished as the oldest Lutheran structure in North Carolina. The name of Rockwell was derived from the “rock well” that served local residents and ensured a refreshing drink to weary travelers.  Even today, the Rockwell community is proud of its eight wells and the quality of the water they provide.  The tranquility and small-town intimacy of rural living in Rockwell is enhanced by easy access to Rowan County’s exceptional cultural and recreational amenities.  For professional sports and world-class metropolitan attractions, the bright lights of Charlotte are available within a reasonable commute.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
