Ashe County, County in North Carolina, United States.
Ashe County is an administrative division in northwestern North Carolina that spans rolling mountainous terrain within the Appalachian region. The area sits along the border with Virginia and Tennessee and is crossed by four main highways that connect different communities.
The area played a role during the American Revolution, with military encounters between American forces and British Loyalists shaping its past. These events remain part of the region's historical identity.
Christmas tree farming defines much of the local economy today, making this place the state's leading producer of these evergreens. Walking through the countryside, you notice many plantations that shape how the land looks and is used.
The county is easy to explore by car, as four highways run through it and connect different areas. The best time to visit depends on what interests you, but each season offers different experiences.
The New River flows northward through the area and later received recognition as an American Heritage River. This waterway matters both for the local environment and as a place where visitors can enjoy outdoor activities.
