Ashe County, County in North Carolina, United States.
Ashe County extends across 429 square miles of rolling plateaus within the Appalachian Mountains, bordered by Virginia and Tennessee in northwestern North Carolina.
The county territory witnessed the Battle of Big Glades in July 1780, where American forces confronted British Loyalists during the Revolutionary War.
The county economy has evolved from traditional cattle farming to lead North Carolina in Christmas tree production, shaping local agricultural practices.
Four main highways connect the region: US 421, US 221, NC 16, and NC 88, offering direct routes from Interstate 77 to Jefferson.
The New River flows through the county in a northward direction, earning recognition as an American Heritage River in 1998.
