Living and working in the Catawba Valley area truly represents the best of both worlds. Nestled in the lush rolling foothills of North Carolina’s scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, the area is a natural haven of sheltering trees, cool streams and wide, winding lakes and rivers with a mild climate that displays the best of all seasons. Yet for all its pastoral splendor, the Hickory Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is the fourth largest in the state with a population of approximately 400,000. Known world-wide for its furniture, hosiery and textile manufacturing, it has rapidly grown into one of the largest centers of manufacturing.

Designated by National Geographic as one of the "Best Small Cities in the U.S.," the Hickory area is a wonderful place to live. Visit the following sites for more information about our area:

Community College System.
