  J.A. Long is regarded as the founder of modern Roxboro. Because of his investments with major railroad companies, the Norfolk and Western Railroad Companies moved into Roxboro, bringing with them tobacco processing plants and warehouses. Although the processing plants disappeared many years ago, the warehouses are still abundant. Mr. Long also established the Peoples Bank in 1891 and the Roxboro Cotton Mill in 1899. In 1915 Mr. Long passed away, but his son J.A. Long, Jr. began to attract new businesses to Roxboro. He brought the Baker Company to Roxboro in 1923. That company merged and became the nationally known Collins and Aikman. Today, C&A is still one of the major industries in Person County.
