Native American tribes, including Cherokee, Creek, and Shawano,
passed through Asheville and Western North Carolina, building towns
and villages along the banks of the Swannanoa and French Broad
Rivers for more than 1,000 years. The first white settlers arrived
in the Swannanoa Valley in October of 1784. After the Civil War,
Asheville became a haven for the wealthy elite of Charleston and
Philadelphia; as the resort era blossomed, so too did Asheville.
Second only to Miami in its treasure trove of Art Deco landmarks,
Asheville is an architectural and historical time capsule of
national significance. It is a community with a rich heritage and
history in the arts, including textiles, pottery, and modernist
art. Today Asheville is at a crossroads; attempting to balance the
environmental and natural attractions of the area with commercial
development is and will be one of Asheville's greatest challenges.
