Back HomeA Little Maggie Valley History
Winter in Maggie Valley
What do you think of when you think of the Smoky Mountains? Waterfalls, mountain peaks, incredible views, winter sports, hiking, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park? You would be so right. These and so much more are waiting to be explored right here.
Maggie Valley is considered to be one of Western North Carolina’s most sought after resort towns. In the late 1800’s it was an isolated settlement forged in the wilderness. The residents were sturdy and thought of as true mountain people. To live here you had to forge off the land, neighbors depended on one another. At times mountain life could be challenging. The beauty of the area was always a drawn to many. That is still true for today. But, unlike in the 1800’s, we have all the conveniences of modern living. The town still has that rustic appeal and the magnificent homes that dot the mountains offer those lucky enough to live here views that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
From rushing Jonathan Creek running the valley to Cataloochee Ski Area you would be amazed at the sights and sounds year round. It is no wonder Maggie Valley is a sought after place to live and vacation in. Maggie Valley has been able to combine history and modernity in a very appealing way.
We could go on and on but there has already been a lot written about the region. May we suggest starting out with http://maggievalley.org/history.php there you can read how Jack Setzer was able to set up the Maggie Valley post office in the 1900’s; it is a story of determination of one man to make a difference for himself and his neighbors. It is sure to bring a smile to your face.
