Living Here

Quality of Life

Montgomery County’s motto is “A Golden Opportunity.” The origin dates back to the early 1800’s when North Carolina was a leading gold producing state, and specifically to 1803 when gold was first found in Montgomery County. Over time it was revealed that there were 13 major gold deposits in the county, making it the hub of gold mining in the state.

Fast forward to today, and though the gold rush is over, Montgomery County still remains a golden opportunity for people looking for a great place to live, work and raise a family.
