Morganton

Morganton occupies the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina. The Catawba River runs through the city, while Lake James and the rugged Linville Gorge area place it within a wider setting of waterways, forests and Appalachian highlands. Founded in 1784 and named for Revolutionary War general Daniel Morgan, Morganton is the seat of Burke County. Its downtown retains a historic civic core, including the Old Burke County Courthouse, while the North Carolina School for the Deaf has been part of the city since 1894.
