Rich History & Beautiful Country in Cliffside
Once a one-industry cotton mill town, Cliffside, NC is today a tranquil country community steeped in the rich history of its foundings. Not so long ago, it was a booming textile town, known for its above-average work environment and a founder who treated his workers with care and respect. But as the textile industry slowly faded away, so did the town. Today, it’s a quiet reminder of days gone past, still home to a small collection of businesses and churches, a school, and a clock tower.
