About Hendersonville

Hendersonville is the county seat of Henderson County, set in the southern mountains of western North Carolina near the Blue Ridge. It has a classic mountain-town downtown, but its agricultural identity is just as important: the annual North Carolina Apple Festival is the local event people know, and the surrounding county is one of the state's apple centers. Hendersonville feels like a regional hub for retirees, tourists, farms, and mountain residents, with Asheville close enough to matter but not close enough to erase it.
