Character

A self-contained rural community with a post office, a few local businesses, and strong community bonds forged over generations of shared mill-village life. Joanna's pace is decidedly unhurried.

History

Joanna grew around the Joanna Cotton Mill established in the 1890s, which at its peak was one of the region's significant textile operations. The mill village provided housing, a school, and community facilities that defined the character residents maintain today.
