Population
Asheville is the county seat of Buncombe County, and one of the principal resort centers of the eastern U. S. The city proper has a population of 60,192. The population of Buncombe County of which Asheville is the County seat, is 130,074 (1960 U. S. Census figures).
History
Asheville was founded in 1797 by John Burton, and was 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.
XI
INTRODUCTION
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 tourist traffic increased and other resort hotels were built including the old Battery Park Hotel on the site now occupied by the modern structure. Other hotels have been constructed with the growth of tourist trade, through expansion of transportation facilities, including rail- ways and highways into the highlands. Industry and agriculture also have de- veloped in the mountain section, to the point that Asheville has become a mar- keting and shopping center for 20 counties of western North Carolina.
Government
Buncombe County is governed by a board of three commissioners. Ashe- ville has the council-manager form of government, which includes a mayor and six other councilmen and a city manager. The two governmental bodies are housed in the handsome City and County buildings which flank the central 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 department is highly effective with the aid of radio, cooperation with state and county law-enforce- ment officers and by means of the police cruiser system. Three police radio stations are located here, one atop the Buncombe County Building, a State police radio station, on the Black Mountain highway and the City and Fire Sta- tion in the Municipal Building.
Tourist Attractions
Scenic and other attractions of Asheville and Western North Carolina are always of paramount interest to visitors. The historic Dogwood Trail, a scenic self-guided city tour, is open year round to the public. The famous Biltmore House and Gardens, located in the midst of the 15,000-acre Biltmore Estate in Asheville, have been open to the public view since 1930. The noted mansion, adjudged one of the finest private homes in the world, was constructed nearly half a century ago by the late George W. Vanderbilt. The house, built after the architectural pattern of the French chateaux, contains a vast collection of ob- jects of artistic and historic value, gathered at great cost by Mr. Vanderbilt in all parts of the world. Notable among the priceless treasures on display are the chessmen of Napoleon, 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 of other rare and precious objects.
Surrounding the House, the vast expanse of gardens and landscaped 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, the Civil War Governor of North Carolina, and the now famous marker erected to the memory of 18 German sailors by members of the Rockwell-Balleau Post of the American Legion. This is the only monument ever erected by American Soldiers to the memory of their foreign foes.
Also in Asheville, in the city of his birth, is the tomb of the late Thomas Wolfe, internationally-known author of "Look Homeward, Angel," "Of Time and the River," "The Web and the Rock," and "You Can't Go Home Again." He spent most of his childhood at his mother's boarding house, the "Old Ken- tucky Home," at 48 Spruce St. This house is known to millions of American readers as "Dixieland," the boarding house operated by Eliza Gant in Wolfe's first novel, "Look Homeward, Angel." It is maintained by the City of Ashe- ville and is operated by the City Parks and Recreation Department, and is open to the public during May through October. It contains the furnishings of the days when the author resided there.
Richmond Hill, home of the late Richmond Pearson (minister to Persia and Greece), is open to the public. It is filled with rare treasures collected from all over the world.
The famous Craggy Rhododendron Gardens, located on the crest of the Great Craggy Mountains near Asheville, are one of the noted scenic attractions of the region near the city. The gardens, which present the massed bloom of millions of purple rhododendron shrubs in June, are reached by means of a link of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, and are the objective for many visitors in Ashe- ville during the bloom of the flowers, which is generally around the middle of June, depending on the season.

The Blue Ridge Parkway with Mount Mitchell in Background
and Grandfather Mountain sections, the Tryon resort region, and the sections near Hendersonville, Waynesville, Brevard, Highlands, "The Land of the Waterfalls" and Whiteside Mountain are of interest to visitors.
Mount Mitchell, highest mountain in eastern America (altitude 6,684 feet), and Mount Pisgah (5,749 feet) in the Pisgah National Forest, may be traveled by the motorist.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Asheville is the eastern gateway city to the Great Smoky Mountains Na- tional Park, one of the nation's most popular playgrounds. This great scenic region with its majestic peaks and deep valleys, its vast expanse of virgin forests, its clear trout streams and tumbling waterfalls, is a center of in- terest for visitors. 4,762,108 visitors entered this park in 1961. Excellent highways connect Asheville with the Great Smokies, and on the eastern ap- proach to the park is located the 57,000-acre reservation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Here live 4,000 Indians, occupying their ancient hunting grounds and pursuing their ancient crafts and customs under supervision of the Government.
The Blue Ridge Parkway
Through western North Carolina the "Blue Ridge Parkway" is nearing com- pletion, connecting the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee. This great touring route, along the summits of highest of the Appalachian peaks, is the most scenic motor-way in America, covering a distance of approximately 500 miles, with an average elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level. 6,047,562 persons traveled the parkway during 1961.

INTRODUCTION
Sports
Asheville and Western North Carolina comprise a region which is a para- disc for outdoorsmen. In Asheville, five golf courses, adjudged among the finest in the South, offer bent grass greens and fairways to the golfer. These are the courses of the Country Club of Asheville, Inc., the Biltmore Forest Country Club, the Beaver Lake Golf Club, Brookwood Golf Club and the Mu- nicipal Golf Links. Over a score of excellent courses are to be found in the resort centers of the highlands.
Tennis courts, swimming pools and other recreational facilities are pro- vided in Asheville. The City Recreation Park, with its zoo, skating rink, and its amusement devices, is a center of attraction during the summer months.
More than 35 artificial lakes, located in all parts of the "Land of the Sky," provide opportunities for boating, sailing and fishing. Through the mountains many hundreds of miles of trails are open to the hiker and horsemen. 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 region provide good hunting for deer in the surrounding terrain during the open hunting seasons. Bear, Russian wild boar, grouse, rabbits and other small game also are plen- tiful in most of the mountain regions, and during the open season. Nimrods from practically every state in the Union come to this section. For many years, deer, bear and boar hunts have been held in the Pisgah and Natahala National Game Preserves
Horseback-riding along the many enticing mountain trails is one of the favorite recreations among visitors. Horse shows at Black Mountain, Canton, Tryon, Blowing Rock, Hendersonville, Waynesville and Linville each year are events of great interest to followers of equestrian activities.
In the mountain region near Asheville are located nearly 50 camps for boys and girls, which operate during the summer months and provide excellent sum- mer recreational programs for thousands of boys and girls of school age.
In Western North Carolina also are located the great religious assemblies, sites for summer recreation and conferences for the members of a number of denominations. These include the Baptist Assembly at Ridgecrest; the Presby- terian Assembly at Montreat; the Y. M. C. A. Assembly at Blue Ridge; the Methodist Assembly at Lake Junaluska; the Assembly of the Associated Re- formed Presbyterian Church at Bon Clarken near Hendersonville; the Epis- copal Assembly at Lake Kanuga near Hendersonville; the Ben Lippen Bible Conference, Route 4, Asheville; the Lutheridge Assembly at Arden; Christ- mount (Christian) and Cragmont (Free Will Baptist) at Black Mountain; Eliada Home, an Interdenominational Conference Center, Route 4, Asheville; and Our Lady of the Hills Camp, near Hendersonville, operated by the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh.

Climate and Health
A climate, which combines cool, exhilarating summers and mild winters, a large percentage of sunny days, mountain-protection from severe storms and a dry atmosphere, has long been a principal attraction of Asheville and the west- ern portion of North Carolina. The health-giving qualities of this climate have
XV

Most notable among these are the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Oteen, just east of the city limits. The North Carolina State Tuberculosis Hospital is located near Black Mountain, 15 miles east of Asheville.

INTRODUCTION
Water Supply
Asheville's water supply is of the purest. The water, coming from the sum- mits of the high peaks, is noted for its soft quality and its lack of impurities. The city water system is one of the few large gravity systems in existence, and Buncombe County is one of the few counties in the U. S. providing water by means of mains along most highways in the county.
