Set in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Boone is a town whose character is shaped by the cool, elevated terrain of the Appalachian High Country. The South Fork New River passes through the area, while ridges and wooded slopes define the town’s edges and nearby routes. Appalachian State University gives Boone a lively academic presence, with campus events, galleries and sport woven into the local calendar. The town’s name recalls frontiersman Daniel Boone, and its Daniel Boone Amphitheatre hosts Horn in the West, a long-running outdoor drama about the region’s early settlement.
