Activities and Attractions

History and Activities:

The town of Highlands was founded in 1875 by two developers living 
in Kansas who, according to legend, took a map in hand and drew a 
line from New York to New Orleans. Then they drew another line from 
Chicago to Savannah. These lines, they predicted, would become major 
trade routes in the future, and where they crossed would some day be 
a great population center. Their logic wasn’t completely insane when 
one recognizes we are just over 120 miles from Atlanta. What evolved 
was a health and summer resort at more than 4,000 feet on the 
highest crest of the Western North Carolina plateau in the Southern 
Appalachian Mountains. This paradisial settlement, the highest 
incorporated town east of the Rockies, provided common ground for 
both northern and southern pioneers a decade after the Civil war. By 
1883, nearly 300 immigrants from the eastern states were calling 
Highlands’s home. In the early 1880’s the town contained 8 country 
stores specializing in groceries, hardware, and general merchandise, 
a post office, a hotel and boarding house for summer guests, a 
public library, four churches, and a first class school. Very little 
changed until the late 1920’s, when the Cullasaja River was dammed, 
forming Lake Sequoyah. A spectacularly scenic road to Franklin was 
carved into the rock walls of the Cullasaja Gorge. The muddy roads 
in and out of town were reinforced with crushed stone. By the time 
the Chamber of Commerce was established in 1931, the town’s 
population had increased to 500 with 2,500 to 3,000 summer guests. 
There were now 25 businesses. The town’s population stands at 
slightly over 1,100 year round residents and swells to over 20,000 
during the summer months. Randolph P. Shaffner
Situated at 4118 feet elevation in Western North Carolina, just two 
hours from Atlanta, and one and a half hour from Ashville makes 
Highlands convent to major transportation hubs. The Highlands 
plateau is surrounded by 200,000+ acres of National Forest which is 
a hikers dream. There is no “T” shirt or souvenir shops, fast food 
restaurants, theme parks or etc. in Highlands. However, you will 
find many wonderful restaurants with a great wine selection, antique 
shops, clothing stores, specialty shops and a world class spa and 
health fitness club. Hiking, golf, whitewater rafting, fishing and 
ATV rides are just minutes away.
