Spruce Pine, Mountain town in Mitchell County, North Carolina, United States
Located at an elevation of 780 meters, Spruce Pine extends across the Toe River Valley with forests surrounding its residential and commercial districts.
The Clinchfield Railroad establishment in 1907 led to the official incorporation of Spruce Pine in 1913, marking the beginning of the town's development.
The town maintains a strong connection to mineral mining traditions, with numerous local artisans specializing in pottery and glassmaking using regional materials.
The town center features essential services, shops, and restaurants, while the 28777 postal code area encompasses residential neighborhoods and business districts.
Spruce Pine produces and supplies specialized mineral sand to Augusta National Golf Club due to its high-quality quartz deposits.
