About Moravian Falls

Moravian Falls is a Wilkes County census-designated place in the foothills of the Brushy Mountains, named for the waterfall and the Moravian settlers who arrived in the 1750s. The local name points to both pieces: a roughly 35-foot falls and a community connected to the Moravian movement that took root in North Carolina. Pores Knob, the highest point in the Brushy Mountains, rises within the CDP. Moravian Falls is a North Carolina foothill place where faith history, a waterfall, and mountain geography sit in one name.
