Answer

The Twin Counties is a nickname used to refer to the Rocky Mount metropolitan area. It is because the area is composed of two counties, Nash County and Edgecombe County. The nickname was first used in 1904 by the Rocky Mount Telegram, which called the two counties "the twin counties of North Carolina". The nickname has been used ever since to refer to the area.
