Casville is a small place in Caswell County, North Carolina, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government.
Casville is located where two roads meet: U.S. Route 158 and Ashland Road/Park Springs Road. This meeting point is often called a crossroads.

If you are driving on US 158, you will notice a change in the speed limit as you get close to Casville.

Fire Department
Casville has its own volunteer fire department. This department is made up of people who volunteer their time to help put out fires and respond to emergencies.
