Jonesville: Mainly An Unique Town

Jonesville may be the only town anywhere with four Main streets:

West Main, East Main, North Main and South Main.

If you are visiting Jonesville and want to make your way to a certain address on Main Street, you might need a compass.

But sometimes even a compass cannot be much help.

The best solution for knowing where you are headed in Jonesville is to bring along your cell phone and have in your possession the telephone number of the address at which you are hoping to arrive.

Call for directions!

West Main Street runs west only for about a block and then goes north.

East Main crosses South Bridge Street, which becomes North Main, then South Main.

North Main runs north; South Main runs south.

Confusing matters: South Bridge runs into North Bridge.

West Main Street, upon going over the Yadkin River into Elkin, becomes South Bridge Street, then bisects with Elkin’s Main Street, which runs west and east.

So in the two towns of Jonesville and Elkin, which are really one city with two municipalities, visitors have six main streets with which to contend.

And four Bridge Streets--two going north and two south.
