Aquadale began as a resort development around Rocky River Springs. Increased industrial and residential growth is creating a community atmosphere. A quiet small town atmosphere, southern charm and welcoming people make Aquadale the perfect place to raise a family or to get away from the hustle bustle of a large city. Close enough to the major metropolitan areas of Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston Salem you can enjoy the entertainment and activities of big-city life, and return to a quiet country setting.
