The town supported a railroad depot, multiple grocery stores, a lumber yard, hotel, hardware store, implement dealers, service stations, a creamery, bank, public school, dentist, and churches. While modern economic shifts have changed the retail landscape, Rowley maintains community spirit and rural character.
