ASHEVILLE FROM BEAUCATCHER MOUNTAIN
ASHEVILLE, N. C.
Asheville is the county seat of Buncombe County, and one of the principal resort centers of the eastern United States. The city has a population of 50,193 according to the United States Census of 1930. (Note: The 1936 Directory Census, taken on canvass by enumerators of The Piedmont Directory Co., give Asheville [within the city limits] a population of 51,000, and a population of 58,000 for Greater Asheville, or territory covered).
HISTORY
Asheville was founded in 1797 by John Burton, the city being known for about three years of its early history as Morristown. The name was later changed to Asheville, in honor of Samuel and John Ashe, noted men of that period.
The city has long been a resort center, the first resort hotel having been constructed near the Sulphur Springs in the western part of the city, west of the French Broad River. (Later, the tour- ist traffic increased and other resort hotels were built, including the old Battery Park Hotel on the site now occupied by the mod- ern structure. Other hotels have been constructed with growth of

PREFACE
tourist trade, through expansion of transportation facilities, includ- ing railways and highways into the highlands. Industry and ag- riculture have also developed in the mountain section, to the point that Asheville has become a marketing and shopping center for 18 counties of western North Carolina.
GOVERNMENT
Buncombe County is governed by a board of three commis- sioners. Asheville has the council - manager form of government, which includes a mayor and six other councilmen and a city manager. The two govern- mental bodies are housed in the handsome city and county buildings which flank the cen- tral city plaza. The city has one of the lowest fire records of any city of its size in the country, due to an efficient fire department, and the police de- partment has become highly effective with the aid of radio, cooperation with state and county law - enforcement offi- cers and by means of the police- cruiser system.
COUNTY AND CITY BUILDINGS
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Scenic and other attractions of Asheville and western North Carolina are always of paramount interest to visitors. The famous Biltmore House and Gardens, located in the midst of the 15,000- acre Biltmore Estate in Asheville, have been open to public view since 1930. The noted mansion, adjudged one of the finest private homes in the world, was con- structed nearly half a century ago by the late Geo. W. Van- derbilt. The House, built after the archi- tectural pat - tern of the French cha- teaux, contains a vast collec- tion of objects of artistic and historic value, BILTMORE HOUSE gathered at

great cost by Mr. Vanderbilt, in all parts of the world. Notable among the priceless treasures on display are the chessmen of Na- poleon, the ceremonial robes of Cardinal Richelieu, ancient tapestries which graced the tent of Francis I at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and a myriad other rare and precious objects.
Surrounding the House, the vast expanse of gardens and land- scaped park presents a great mass of flowers and superbly-designed vistas to the beholder throughout the spring, summer and autumn seasons.
In Riverside Cemetery are located the tombs of the famous writer, O. Henry, and Zebulon Vance, war time Governor of North Carolina, and the now-famous marker erected to the memory of 18 German sailors by members of the Kiffin Rockwell Post of the American Legion. This is the only monument ever erected by American soldiers to the memory of their foreign foes.
UNIQUE GROVE PARK INN
Grove Park Inn, because of its unique setting and architecture, is a point often visited in the city. Circling the summits of the mountains near the city, the Asheville Scenic Highway reveals surpassingly beautiful vistas to the motorist.

PREFACE
In the surrounding highland region, the beauty of the Sapphire Country, Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, the Blowing Rock and Linville sections, the Tryon resort region, and the sections near Hendersonville and Waynesville are of interest to visitors.

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
Asheville is the eastern gateway point to the Great Smoky Moun- tains National Park, the na- tion's newest and most popu- lar playground. This great scenic region, with its majes- tic peaks and deep valleys, its vast ex- panse of virgin forests, its clear trout

streams and tumbling waterfalls, is a center of interest for visitors. Over 500,000 visitors entered this national park last season. Ex- cellent highways connect Asheville with the Great Smokies, and on the eastern ap- proach to the park is located the 60,000-acre reservation of the Eastern Band of Cher- okee Indians. Here live 3,000 Indians, occu- pying their an- cient hunting grounds and pursuing their ancient crafts and customs, under super- vision of the Government.

THE NATIONAL PARKWAY
Through western North Carolina the $16,000,000 "Blue Ridge Parkway" is now under construction, connecting the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Ten- nessee and North Caro- lina. This great tour- ing route, when com- pleted along the summits of the high- est of the Appalachian peaks, will be the finest highway in America.
THE INDIAN BALL GAME IS MORE STRENUOUS THAN ANY GAME OF THE WHITE MAN
SPORTS
Asheville and western North Carolina comprise a region which is a paradise for outdoorsmen. In Asheville, five golf courses, ad- judged among the finest to be found in the South, offer grass greens and fairways to the golfer. These include the courses of the Asheville Country Club, the Biltmore Forest Country Club, the Malvern Hills Golf Club, the Lake View .Golf Club, and the Muni- cipal Golf Links. Over a score of ex- cellent courses are to be found in the resort centers of the highlands.
Tennis courts, swimming pools and other recreational facilities are provid- ed in Asheville. The City Recreation Park, with its huge outdoor pool, its lake for boating, its skating rink, its zoo and amusement devices, is a center of attraction.

PREFACE
VIEW OF LAKE LURE AND THE VALLEY. THE TOP OF CHIMNEY ROCK IS IN THE FOREGROUND
Over 70 artificial lakes, located in all parts of the "Land of the Sky," provide opportunities for boating, sailing and . fishing. Through the mountaians many hundreds of miles of trails are open to the hiker and horseman. Streams of the region are well stocked in most cases with brook and rainbow trout and the five game preserves in the western North Carolina re- gion provide good hunting for deer in the surrounding terrain during the open hunt- ing seasons. Bear, quail, rabbits and other small game are also plentiful in most of the mountain regions, and during the open sea- son, nimrods from practically every state in the Union come to this section. During two seasons, deer hunts have been held in the Pisgah National Game Preserve.
Horseback riding along the many entic- ing mountain trails is one of the favorite recreations among visitors. Horse shows at Asheville, Tryon, Blowing Rock and Linville each year are events of great interest to fol- lowers of equestrian activities.

PREFACE
AGRICULTURE
Western North Caro- lina is noted for its pro- duction of apples, Tryon grapes, cattle and Bur- ley tobacco. Asheville is a marketing center for these products, the city having three sales warehouses for tobacco and an auction center for cattle and other farm animals. The re- gion is a general farm- ing area also, and many crops are produced. Timber is also a noted crop in the highlands.
TRADE AND COMMERCE
As the principal com- mercial center for 18 counties, Asheville is one of the most import- ant trade centers of North Carolina, the city having rated second in retail trade in the state in recent compilations. As an indicator of prog- ress since the depres- sion, sales tax figures for four months of 1934 showed an average in- crease of 27 per cent in levall sales over the same months in 1933. In October, 1934, the.in- crease was 53 per cent over October, 1933.
Due to its large trade area and the many hun- dred,s of thousands of visitors touring West- ern North Carolina at all seasons of the year, the city has become one of the finest shopping centers in the South.

PREFACE
SPECIAL EVENTS
Asheville's tourist season, which extends throughout the year and reaches high peaks in the spring, summer and autumn, has inspired many events of unusual nature.
RHODODENDRON BLOSSOMS IN THE "LAND OF THE SKY"
The Rhododendron Festival, held each year at the high point of the flowering season for the mountain rhododendron, is one of the most spectacular civic celebrations of the country. Presenting four colorful parades, a series of brilliant balls, spectacles and so- cial affairs, the Festival has earned international fame.
Each August the mountain folk of the highlands gather at Asheville to present their annual Mountain Folk Festival, an event which is unique in its presentation of folk music and folk dances.
Horse shows held in Asheville, Tryon and Blowing Rock, the Asheville Dog Show and the annual invitation golf tournaments at the Asheville and Biltmore Forest Country Clubs are events of major importance.
WATER SUPPLY
Asheville's water supply is the purest to be found. The water, coming from the summits of the high peaks, is noted for its soft quality and its lack of impurities. The city water system is one of the few gravity systems in existence.
