Burke County Chamber of Commerce - Morganton, North Carolina

We are delighted to introduce you to the magnificent beauty, hospitality, cultural diversity and business resources of one of the most vibrant areas in Western North Carolina. Those who visit here are amazed by what this dynamic county, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, has to offer.

Burke County is the perfect place to live, work, play, raise a family, retire, and most of all, enjoy life. It is that special place where you can enjoy living at your own pace. There are entrepreneurial opportunities for those wishing to operate their own businesses, a four season climate with mild year-round temperatures, and unlimited recreational opportunities that range from leisurely walks on the Catawba greenway, boating and sailing on the pristine waters of Lake James, to strenuous rock climbing in the Linville Gorge.

Read on, we assure you that you will enjoy your visit with us. Someday, if you are not already a resident, you might be as enthused as we are about planting permanent roots in Burke County.
