About Conover
Set right in the middle of Catawba County, Conover is a quiet, friendly town of about 8,500 people just east of Hickory. It started out as a railroad junction back in the 1800s, but today it is a comfortable place to live with a relaxed pace and a close-knit feel. You get the benefits of a peaceful suburban setting while still staying connected to all the shopping, dining, and jobs across the greater Hickory area.
Commuting is straightforward because Interstate 40 runs right through town, connecting you quickly to Newton, Hickory, and the rest of the Catawba Valley. For recreation, you will find several neighborhood parks, local greenways, and championship golf out at Rock Barn Country Club. Most local students attend the Newton-Conover school system, making the area a practical and appealing spot for anyone looking to put down roots.
