About Hickory

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. 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.

Did you know?

Who says technology is only the domain of large cities? Hickory's public library has the distinction of being the first such facility in North America to capitalize on smart-card technology. The card not only lets you check out books but controls money in your account, allows Internet access, and holds in its memory computer-surfing preferences. First used in athletic arenas, it's a great source of independence for patrons and library staff alike.
