Introduction to Eden, North Carolina
Eden, North Carolina, in Rockingham county, is 28 miles N of Greensboro, North Carolina (center to center) and 80 miles NW of Raleigh, North Carolina. The city has a population of 15,908.
Eden History
The region now known as the city of Eden was originally a 70,000-acre estate of William Byrd, an English landowner. This 18th century estate was then called “The Land of Eden.” Byrd was taken in by the land's lush vegetation and, hence, named it Eden. This name was later adopted by the area's residents when the area was officially incorporated in 1967. Eden became a city when the towns of Spray, Draper, and Leaksville merged. The region had a prosperous textile center, but recent plant closings has led to large scale job losses.
