History By the mid-to-late s, a large sawmill had been built along the Little Rockfish Creek. As the textile industry flourished, so did the Rockfish Factory village, with a company store and rows of houses built for the families of those who worked in the cotton mills.
In their haste to depart from an approaching cavalry, the Bluff Mill was spared. However many dwellings as well as bridges, were destroyed throughout the county.
By , the Bluff Mill was back in operation. However, the Rockfish Factory property, including the Rockfish village property owned by the mill, was sold in to a private investor. A year later, the property was sold back to a newly-incorporated Rockfish Manufacturing Company. After much rebuilding, renovation and replacement of machinery, the mill was re-opened in , and became known as the Hope Mill.
In the name of the settlement on Rockfish Creek was officially changed to Hope Mills. By , the village of Hope Mills was the second-largest community in Cumberland County.
In the community itself was incorporated as a town, known as Hope Mills Number One. This railroad was later purchased by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The proximity of rail service greatly enhanced the growth of the mill industry in the area.
The Railroad Depot, which was located at the juncture of the railroad and Trade Street, has since burned and is no longer in existence. As the mill industry flourished, the mills expanded. In Mill Number Four was constructed in the town near the railroad tracks. Today, none of these textile mills are in operation. They either have been destroyed or converted to other uses.
