Make Ashe County Your New Home...

Ashe County is one of the most desirable places to live in the North Carolina Mountains. From the small town charm of its main streets, to the waving hands of friendly neighbors, to the unbelievable mountain vistas, Ashe County is an excellent place to live, start a business, and raise a family.

The people of Ashe County work diligently to preserve their heritage and ensure their future. Believing our children are our future, Ashe County has placed priorities in quality education. With our strong ties to the land, we take pride in being the custodians of the scenic New River. Because of our strong work ethic, we have embraced agriculture, tourism, and industry as a means to provide a strong and diversified economic base. We have a thriving arts community, serving as a catalyst in the development of a strong arts movement and in the preservation of our mountain heritage.

The Ashe County Chamber of Commerce is proud to provide our county residents and visitors a community resource which contains helpful information on everything from establishing a residency to answering some of our most frequently asked questions. The Chamber serves as an ambassador and as a community resource for the people of Ashe County. Many visitors choose the Chamber as their first stop in learning more about our community, natural resources and opportunities, and residents enjoy the current and pertinent information on activities and businesses that the Chamber provides.
