About Hendersonville, NC

Judge Mitchell King owned 1,000 acres (4.0 km 2), of which he donated 50 acres for the establishment of the town of Hendersonville. His slaves laid out its 100-foot-wide (30 m) Main Street. Chartered in 1847 as the county seat of Henderson County (formed 1838), Hendersonville is traditionally known as "The City of Four Seasons". The town has a well-preserved Main Street and adjoining downtown areas with many restaurants, antique shops and boutiques in buildings that housed key local businesses until the mid-1980s. Its architecture reflects the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
