Situated on the peak of the western North Carolina plateau in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, the town of Highlands was founded in 1875 by two Kansan developers who, according to legend, took a map in hand and drew a line from New York to New Orleans, Chicago to Savannah, and built a village at the center. The historic town has since developed into a thriving year-round resort community and offers exceptional outdoor recreational amenities including golf, hiking, fishing, and numerous horseback-riding trails. Nearby, the tranquil village of Cashiers is noted for its charming antique stores, gourmet restaurants, stone mountains, peaceful lakes, rhododendron forests, and hundreds of waterfalls.
