Rosman’s citizens are portrayed as sharing the passion of those who signed the Toxaway charter in 1901, and as having shown the same ability as their ancestors to endure disappointment and seize opportunity. From past experience, the town has gained a perspective marked by patience in adversity and confidence and hope for the future. Its story is presented as unfinished, rooted deep in the distant past and extending into tomorrow, like the ancient Eastatoe Path along whose borders the town’s metes and bounds were laid.
