Morganton

Morganton NC is the county seat of Burke County and a larger city in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC. A place steeped in history, Morganton North Carolina is a part of the larger Hickory-Lenoir area and, recently, an archeological discovery has given it much recognition. Present-day Morganton is near an old Indian colony, Joara, and perhaps the first European settlement in the interior of the United States at what has come to be known as Fort San Juan (circa 1567). This is not the only unique thing about Morganton NC, however. This small city can be found right off of Interstate 40, and is only 15 miles away from Lake James NC, 25 minutes from Hickory, 45 minutes from Asheville NC, and approximately one hour away from the NC Ski Resorts and the large city of Charlotte.

Morganton North Carolina is home to numerous Morganton NC Golf Courses, a quaint downtown region with an old historic courthouse, and several great park areas.
