Saluda, Mountain administrative division in western North Carolina, United States
The city of Saluda stretches across Polk and Henderson counties, positioned near the South Carolina border at an elevation of 2,179 feet.
The Southern Railroad's completion in 1878 transformed Saluda from a two-house settlement into a growing mountain destination with eight daily passenger trains by 1887.
The Coon Dog Day festival and Saluda Arts Festival represent the local traditions and creative expression of this North Carolina mountain community.
Visitors receive updates about community events and area information through the Saluda Insider Bulletin, which includes access to the Saluda Visitor Guide.
The Saluda Grade railway line descends 600 feet over one mile, making it the steepest standard-gauge main line railroad grade in the United States.
