Rutherford County, North Carolina
Located in the southwest corner of the state, South Carolina is the far border to the county. Elevations run from 806 feet at the town of Caroleen, to Sugar Loaf Mountain, proudly standing at just less than 4,000 feet. Rutherford County covers 563 square miles and includes eight municipalities. Rutherfordton, the county seat, has a population of just over 4,000 (census 2000 data.) The epitome of Southern small-town charm, Rutherfordton offers restaurants and shopping, the Kid Senses Interactive Museum as well as panning for gold at the Thermal City Goldmine.
The lovely town of Chimney Rock is the site of a privately owned park with awesome 75-mile views from its towering overlook. Hiking trails run through the park and lead to a 400-foot waterfall and unique rock formations. Lake Lure, known as the ‘Gem of the Carolinas’ was voted by National Geographic as one of the top ten man-made lakes in the world. Three Bottomless Pools are found here, each with their own separate waterfall, a favorite place for weddings and celebrations. Lake Lure has two 18-hole championship golf courses, both with stunning views of the neighboring mountains.

Population of Rutherford County
Rutherford County’s population is just over 62,000 according to the Census 2000. The County formed in 1779, but the region was populated long before that, being a favored site of the Cherokee Indians due to the unusual and habitable climate. De Soto discovered it in 1540, and not long after that the first white settlers put down roots.
