History

The settlement of the Todd area was started by an initial interest in farming, mining, and timber. Later in the early 20th century, the Virginia-Carolina Railway came to town and the timber industry took off. The new opportunity spiked growth in the small town. The boom lasted only a few years and when the railroad left so did the people. Today, many are being drawn back to the area because of the natural beauty and low-stress lifestyle the area is known for.
