Major area employers include Smurfit Westrock, ECU Health North Hospital, Halifax County government, the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District and Halifax Community College.

Grown up around the 1823 Roanoke Canal and the cotton mills it powered, with four mill villages still shaping its neighbourhoods and a J.P. Stevens plant whose union fight inspired the film Norma Rae.
