Granite Falls occupies rolling foothills north of Lake Rhodhiss in western North Carolina. The lake is a reservoir on the Catawba River, placing the town in the wider Catawba Valley between the Blue Ridge foothills and the Piedmont. Granite Falls grew alongside the region’s textile industry, a legacy shared with many former mill communities around Hickory and Lenoir. Its compact center and lakeside setting reflect a quieter side of this rapidly developing part of the state.
