The Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad was the conglomeration of two previous railroads built by the Page family of Aberdeen, NC at the turn of the 20th century. The first railroad built by the Pages had actually been a logging railroad since about 1887. This railroad was known as the ABERDEEN AND WEST END RAILROAD. The line extended from Aberdeen to Star, NC and was completed in 1895. About the same time the Pages were nearing completion of the ASHEBORO AND MONTGOMERY RAILROAD which extended from Asheboro southward to Star. In 1897 the two lines merged to form the Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad.
