The 'Dan River' flows in both
North Carolina and
Virginia, USA. It arises in the state of Virginia in
Patrick County and crosses the state border into
Stokes County, North Carolina. It then flows into
Rockingham County. From there it goes back into Virginia. It reenters North Carolina near the border between
Caswell County and Rockingham County. It flows into northern Caswell County and then back into Virginia and finally into
Kerr Reservoir on the
Roanoke River.
'The Dan' and [Danville, Virginia]] share their namesake:
Dan Daniels. Many institutions in the surrounding area, such as churches, schools, and parks, have also been named for him.
