A little about Saluda :
|
The name Saluda is derived from an Indian term, believed to mean "corn river"
|
The dream of apple pie-style "small town America" is alive and thriving in Saluda, N.C., a historic Victorian summer retreat perched at the edge of Polk County in the Blue Ridge Mountains. At the turn of the century, Saluda, with its charming Victorian summer homes and inns, was a bustling mountain summer resort served by the 'Carolina Special' passenger steam engine train which brought visitors escaping low country heat. Today, the town proudly retains a Main Street Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places lined with wonderful old brick buildings.

Along Saluda's green-fringed streets, folks still greet one another by name, children chase fireflies on summer evenings, and front porches are graced by porch swings and rocking chairs; visitors discover the wonder of "Saluda time" where time goes a little slower... and a little sweeter!
