Robbins,_North_Carolina abstract "Robbins is a city in Moore County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 1,195 at the 2000 census.Robbins is the hometown of the late Charles E. Brady, NASA astronaut of STS-78 space shuttle mission in 1996. A physician, Brady held the rank of captain in the US Navy, flight surgeon for the Blue Angels Navy flight squadron, an avid amateur radio operator (N4BQW) and BSA Eagle Scout.Robbins is the hometown of former North Carolina senator and 2004 Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards.The first Saturday in August is the annual Robbins Farmers Day celebration with a horse parade Saturday morning and a tractor parade in the evening. Thursday through Saturday carnival type vendors set up in the streets along with clogging, square dancing and various bands play music.The Town, now known as Robbins, actually began in 1795 when gunsmith Alexander Kennedy and his family left Philadelphia to settle along Bear Creek. Kennedy set up a factory, which produced long rifles for American soldiers, near the site of the present day Robbins Water Plant. The Kennedy rifle works continued in operation until 1838 and the place became known as Mechanics Hill.In 1891, the Durham and Charlotte Railroad railway connected Gulf, in Chatham County, to Troy, in Montgomery County. The railroad reached Mechanics Hill around 1899. Railroad construction added many jobs and greatly increased the number of settlers. The railroad not only created its own jobs, it generated commerce by providing a ready means of transportation for turpentine, lumber, agricultural products, and passengers. John B. Lenning was President and owner of the company. Mr. Lenning was here, off and on, for about 12 years. During that time, town lots and streets were designed. A map was registered at the Moore County Register of Deeds Office on March 24, 1900 and the Town was named Elise, in honor of Mr. Lennings daughter.Education was a major concern for the citizens of Elise and the surrounding communities. Some local businessmen and Mr. Lenning met many times to discuss these concerns. These meetings resulted in the founding of Elise Academy in 1904. The academy had a very proud standing and children from here, and from other states and countries, attended this first class establishment. Elise Academy operated until 1940, when it was sold to the Moore County Board of Education.Between 1923 and 1924, generators were installed at Carter’s Mill, along Bear Creek, adjacent to Elise, and the first power was supplied to this area. In 1924 and 1925, William Cowgill built the first textile plant here, operating it as Moore Mills Textiles Plant. Three different companies operated that mill until September, 1930, when Karl Robbins, a Russian immigrant, purchased the mill and renamed it Pinehurst Silk Mills. Mr. Robbins goal was to make his mill the greatest of its kind.In 1935, the Town’s name was changed again. The name was changed to Hemp, to avoid confusion between Elise and another town in North Carolina which had a similar name. Karl Robbins brought great prominence to Hemp. He was directly responsible for a modern water treatment plant and a wastewater disposal system being completed in 1937. He also provided for recreational facilities and a baseball park. Mr. Robbins did many other things, too numerous to mention, for the Town of Hemp.In honor of Karl Robbins, grateful for all he had done, the citizens of Hemp changed the name of the Town that was Mechanics Hill, then Elise, then Hemp, to Robbins. The Town officially became Robbins in 1943, by act of the General Assembly.The Town of Robbins became home to a modern poultry processing plant, a mobile home manufacturing plant, and several textile mills. Ithaca Industries produced ladies hosiery and at the height of its operation, employed 1,100 people.Robbins, like other rural towns in the South, began to suffer loss to its manufacturing base around 1990. The trend escalated throughout the 90’s, but this resilient small town did not give in. According to the Employment Security Commission, Robbins has lost 1,447 jobs since 1990. The Town has also lost a very large portion of its water and sewer customer base. The devastating affects caused by the loss of the manufacturing base left Robbins down, but not out. Immediately, the governing body, staff, and community leaders began efforts to attract new forms of industry to the area. The efforts are paying off and the Town of Robbins is once again re-defining itself. Robbins is a town that is proud of its colorful past and exited about its vibrant future.The current day Robbins Family is spread about throughout the United States. Some members living in the East (Long Island, Scarsdale, etc...) and some in the West (Phoenix, Scottsdale, etc...).".
