Welcome to Black Mountain, NC, “The Little Town that Rocks!”
Black Mountain, NC calls itself “The Little Town that Rocks,” welcoming visitors to pull up a rocking chair on “The Front Porch of Western North Carolina,” breathe deeply of the clear mountain air, and relax. Stroll the downtown historical district and browse unique locally owned shops and art galleries.
