Early History

The Yadkin River begins in Blowing Rock on the northern edge of Caldwell County. This major Piedmont River served as a pathway to western expansion during the colonial period. Its fertile valley attracted influential planters, including General William Le- noir, a Revolutionary hero for whom the county seat of Lenoir is named. Modern Caldwell County has its roots in the fusion of the cultures of German settlers moving westward from the Piedmont, and the Scotch-Irish Appalachian people who inhabited the county’s mountainous northern half. The abundant hardwood resources of Appalachian for- est were the catalysts that combined the business and organizational skills of the Germans with the craftsmanship and strong work ethic of the mountaineers. A thriving furniture manufactur- ing industry emerged and was the backbone of the Caldwell County economy for generations. The second major thread in the county’s economy was supplied by the textile industry. In the late 1800s, “king cotton” still ruled southern agriculture. Caldwell County entrepreneurs were quick to recognize the potential, and a number of mills sprang up along the railroad corri- dor. Shuford Mills is still a major textile manufacturer. Huffman Finishing Company, located near Granite Falls, currently operates a state-of-the-art sock-weaving plant, one of the most effi- cient in the country.

Location & Topography

Caldwell County is framed on the south by the Catawba River and Interstate 40 which parallels the river’s course through the region. The southern part of the county consists of roll- ing countryside dissected by numerous streams. To the north is the Blue Ridge Parkway which passes through a corner of the county on . US Highway 321 threads its way from the river to the mountains, intersecting the Parkway a few miles north of the county line. The northern portions of the county rise to 5,964 feet above sea level at Calloway Peak. The Pisgah National Forest occupies a large segment of the region, combing with contiguous forests further west.

www.caldwellchambernc.com 5 Caldwell County is very fortunate to have a higher-than-average percentage of our acre- age in public land. Most of this land is in Pisgah National Forest that covers nearly 49,000 acres in Caldwell County. One of the true jewels of the forest and the county is Wilson Creek Gorge formed by Wilson Creek. This area was added to the National Wild and Scenic River system in 2000. Wilson Creek is used for swimming, picnicking, tubing, horseback riding, kayaking, as well as camping and hiking. The Wilson Creek area is known for vast forests of colorful foliage. The Wilson Creek Visitors Center provides a place for information, meeting spaces, pic- nic areas, or just a place to sit on the front porch and enjoy the day. Each month, a record num- ber of visitors drop by the center. Nearby, the Brown Mountain Off-Highway Vehicle Area of- fers 34 miles of rugged, mountainous trails open to trail bikes with some sections open to ATVs, Jeeps and other four-wheel drive vehicles. This is the only area in the national park dedi- cated to off road vehicles. If you like to fish, trout fishing in the Wilson Creek Gorge area is some of the best in the world. Striper and crappie are caught in Lake Hickory, Lake Rhodhiss and Gunpowder Creek. Perch, small mouth bass and catfish in numerous rivers and streams challenge your fishing skills. If you prefer hunting, Caldwell County is a haven for outdoorsmen. Wild game like whitetail deer, black bear, turkey, raccoon, rabbit, duck and other small game are hunted in the area. The NC Wildlife Commission has acquired some 5,000 acres of land in the Buffalo Cove
