About Seagrove and Its Homes
Seagrove began as a depot on the railroad from Asheboro toward Troy, built after 1895 and named for the civil engineer Edwin Seagroves, and it was chartered as a town in 1913. The area is famous for its potters, but the written record says next to nothing about the town's houses.
Seagrove, in Randolph County, grew from 235 people in 2020 to 248 in 2025 (Census Bureau estimates), on 1.15 square miles.

Seagrove Insulation FAQs
Is my Seagrove house on any historic register?
No, going by what the state keeps. The National Register list kept by the preservation office has no entry in Seagrove or its vicinity. Its 2023 roster of local boards shows, for this county, only the Randolph County landmark commission, which deals with outside changes to designated landmarks. So historic rules do not enter into insulating a Seagrove attic. The age and condition of the house decide what we check.
Was a house from the depot years insulated when it was built?
No rule made anyone insulate it. The second depot went up in 1905 and the town charter came in 1913, while the state's insulation standard covers only houses started from 1978 forward. Any insulation over the ceiling of an older house went in by someone's choice, at building or later. We measure it in several places. If the house was wired before 1930, an electrician first checks for knob-and-tube, since ENERGY STAR ranks that old wiring as a fire danger once insulation touches it.
Does attic insulation in Seagrove need a permit?
Seagrove Town Hall can say whether Randolph County Building Inspections, the town itself or another office handles permits in Seagrove; ask before work starts.
