Burnsville, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a town rich in history and tradition. Established in 1834 and named in honor of Captain Otway Burns, a naval hero of the War of 1812, Burnsville has long been a center of community life in Yancey County. The historic Town Square, laid out the same year, remains the gathering place for festivals, markets, and local celebrations. Over the years, Burnsville has grown while retaining its small-town charm, offering visitors and residents alike a welcoming spirit, breathtaking mountain scenery, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene.
We are proud to use our voice to uplift and support the small businesses that are the backbone of our local economy and celebrate the unique character and pride that make the town of Burnsville such a special place to call home.
