Furniture-manufacturing capital of the world, Hickory draws innumerable shoppers and visitors to its well-stocked furniture malls, which contain acres of showrooms and galleries. About 60% of the nation's furniture is crafted within a 200-mile radius of Hickory, and 40% of the world's fiber optic cable is also produced in the area. Plus, scenic beauty and Southern hospitality abound. The nearby Blue Ridge Mountains invite recreation, sightseeing, and shopping, thanks to the many artists and potters who reside there. Downtown Hickory promises wonderful, small-town charm with its unique shops and restaurants, and Lake Hickory offers terrific warm-weather sport and leisure. Culture, too, is prominent, thanks largely to the SALT (Science, Art, Literature Together) Block, a cluster of arts, culture, and science institutions. If sports are more your style, the Hickory Crawdads minor league baseball team always draws crowds. And, of course, NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Ned Jarrett, and Harry Gant are all tied to the Hickory Motor Speedway, which constantly creates new fans and racing enthusiasts.

A unique feature of local religion in Catawba County is the prominence of camp meetings. Affiliated with the Methodist faith, these gatherings originated in the 19th century, when ministers were not as common as they are today. Folks chose a location to gather, worship, and socialize for a week or two in the summer, coming together to share their beliefs and community. Now, more than a hundred years later, camp meetings are still held each August, and anyone interested may attend. Permanent quarters have been built at many of the sites, which include Balls Creek, Motts Grove, and McKenzie's Grove Campgrounds.
