Person County was formed in 1791.  It was named for Brigadier General Thomas Person, a Revolutionary War patriot, who made significant contribution to Person County and surrounding areas.  Due to the counties nearness to Virginia, the Carolina coast, and the Appalachian foothills, a wide variety of Southern American English dialects can be heard here.  The county seat is Roxboro, which is also the largest city.
