Black Mountain, Mountain town in Buncombe County, United States.
Black Mountain sits at an elevation of 733 meters in eastern Buncombe County, bordered by Montreat to the north and Swannanoa to the west.
The town incorporated on March 4, 1893, following the construction of a road in 1850 and the arrival of the railroad with Black Mountain Depot in 1879.
The Black Mountain College Museum now operates in Asheville, preserving the legacy of the experimental educational institution that operated near the town until 1957.
Visitors can obtain local information and personalized recommendations at the Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center, located at 201 East State Street.
The oversized red rocking chair stands outside the Chamber of Commerce building, marking a distinctive meeting point for tourists and residents.
