PREFACE


CANTON, N. C. PREFACE


Canton is located in the Western part of North Carolina in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, and in the East Central section of Hay- wood County on Highways 19-23 at Junction of State Highway 110, intersecting with Highway 276 going to Pisgah and the Pink Beds.


The city is protected from extreme temperature in winter and sum- mer by the nearby mountain peaks that rise thousands of feet in height. It enjoys a year round climate that is unexcelled anywhere. The difference between the mean July temperature and that of January is only 33.5 degrees, while the difference between the annual mean tem- perature and that of July is only 17.1 degrees. Canton is also protected from the storms of the Middle Western Plains. The summer nights are cooled by the mountain breezes and the temperature frequently ranges as low as 20 degrees lower than that of midday.


The average date last killing frost in spring is April 15th; average date first killing frost in fall is October 20th.


GOVERNMENT


The Town of Canton has been under the City Council form of Government since its incorporation. There is a Mayor and three mem- bers of the Board of Aldermen. An efficient police force is maintained, and the town is protected from fire by a volunteer department.


The Town of Canton was first known as Pigeon Ford, until 1891, when it was incorporated as "Pigeon River" and in 1905 the charter was amended to "Town of Canton."


EDUCATION AND RELIGION


The Town of Canton has six substantially built schools, five graded, one Junior High and one High School, all for white, one colored school, grades and High School, (all having the highest state rating), and a number of churches representing the following denominations: Meth- odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Episcopal, and Holiness. There are also three churches for colored.

RECREATIONAL


Within a radius of a few miles is located Lake Junaluska, the vaca- tion and conference center of the South for Southern Methodists, and Lake Logan, where large acreage is given over to hunting and fishing, general camping and outings. Camp Hope, which has been operated by the Champion Y.M.C.A. for several years and which is located with- in a few miles of Canton, is undoubtedly one of the best camps in this

There is 135 to 140 freight cars moving in and out of the mill daily. Mineral resources are rich and varied. Chief among these is Kaolin, Feldspar.
