The Swain County
Chamber of Commerce,
in the Great Smoky Mountains
of Western North Carolina,

is proud to present this web site of the history of the region.

The county seat, Bryson City, is located centrally to all of the natural wonders in this beautiful, unspoiled area.

Bryson City is in the center of biking and hiking trails, kayak, canoe and innertubing oppurtunities, the Appalachian trail, close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the Tsali recreation area, and the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

Plenty of places to stay surround Bryson City from primitive camping to upscale motels and cabins.
