PREFACE
HENDERSONVILLE, N. C. Year-Round Resort in the Land of the Sky
PREFACE
POPULATION
Henderson County, of which Hendersonville is the county seat, has approximately 25,000 inhabitants. The population of the City of Hendersonville is 10,571; community 12,500; township 15,000.
LOCATION
Located on a broad plateau, on top of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, 2,153 feet above sea level, Hendersonville is easily acces- sible from all directions. It is situated on the Ontario-Florida short route U. S. 25 and U. S. 1; on the Appalachian Way from Chicago to Charleston, S. C .; and on U. S. 64 from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the Atlantic Seaboard. It is on the Southern Railway System and is served by the Greyhound Bus and Carolina Scenic Coach Lines. In addition to the Hendersonville Airport, the Asheville-Hendersonville Airport, midway between these cities, affords excellent travel facilities.
CLIMATE
Hendersonville's climate is free from extremes of heat and cold. The average temperature for the three coldst winter months is 38.7 degrees, while for the three warmest summer months, the average temperature is 70.1. The average daily range in temperature for July and August is 22 degrees, which is a popular feature of the climate of the Hendersonville territory. The average yearly rainfall is 62.20 inches; average date of first killing frost in autumn is October 16; aver- age date for the last killing frost is April 22.
GOVERNMENT
Hendersonville is governed by the Mayor - Commissioner form of Government.
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
A modern, cosmopolitan resort city, Hendersonville entertains thousands of visitors annually. Such scenic attractions as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blowing Rock, Caesar's Head, Mount Mitchell, Pisgah National Forest and others are easily accessible to motorists over an excellent system of paved highways.
Highly varied and numerous accommodations are available.
Hendersonville offers to visitors many forms of recreation and amuse- ment, among which are an 18-hole golf course, swimming, fishing, danc- ing, hiking, and good movie theatres, horseback riding, and tennis.

depository for City, County and North Carolina State funds. Its assets exceed a million dollars.
SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND SUMMER CAMPS
Distinct advantages are offered in the field of elementary and high school education. In addition to two well equipped and modern build- ings for the high school and elementary pupils, there are two prepara- tory schools, Fassifern School for Girls and Blue Ridge School for Boys. The Immaculata Catholic School instructs children from the first through the eighth grades.
The Hendersonville community prides itself on its religious atmos- phere. In addition to churches of practically every denomination, the community is fortunate in having two religious assembly grounds oper- ated by the Protestant Episcopal and Associated Reformed Presbyterian Churches.
Many summer camps for boys and girls are located in this and surrounding counties of Western North Carolina. Trained leaders take the youth under their personal supervision for the vacation period and teach them how to know and appreciate nature in the fullest measure.
AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY
Henderson County is rapidly becoming better known as a farming section for diversified crops. The climate and soil have been found ideally suited for the growing of apples and practically all truck crops. The Henderson County Mutual Curb Market, owned and operated by farmers has in a large way improved the retail outlet for their products.
The varied industrial life of the community makes for an ideal con- dition for additional plants. Henderson County has inducements to offer prospective manufacturers in the way of super power, cheap in- dustrial sites, ample water for domestic and industrial purposes, native, easily trained labor, healthful climate, moderate all-year temperature, proximity to raw materials and comparative nearness to the center of the eastern half of the United States.
CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AND CLUBS
Civic organizations and clubs include Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, Woman's Club, Golf and Country Club, American Legion, Junior Wel- fare Club, and Chamber of Commerce.
WATER SUPPLY
Coming from the slopes of Mount Pisgah, in the Pisgah National Forest, Hendersonville's water supply is as pure as water can be. The watershed, located entirely within the national forest has not only the protection afforded by heavy forestation, but in addition, is patrolled by Federal officers whose duty it is to know the purposes, movements and conduct of those who are privileged to visit the forest. The water system is controlled by a Board of Water Commissioners composed of three members who are appointed by and receive their authority from the State Legislature.
