Alexander County

Alexander County is a wonderful place to live and work... Located in the foothills of North Carolina, Alexander County is the ideal location to raise a family, retire, or just get away from the stress of daily life. While other areas of the state have become over populated, Alexander has kept its quiet and friendly nature intact. We aren't called the "Gem of North Carolina" for nothing. Sir Thomas Edison's associates described one area as "The most complex geological zone in the world," after finding more than 63 different gems and minerals.
