About this city
Also known as: Land of Waterfalls
Brevard is a charming, historic mountain river gateway community nestled snugly inside a deep granite valley carved by the French Broad River in Transylvania County. Surrounded by the dense timberlands, thousands of forested acres, and steep hardwood ravines of the Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest, the town is nicknamed the 'Land of Waterfalls' due to housing over 250 cascading drops nearby. Brevard is highly celebrated among outdoor enthusiasts for its deeply eco-conscious progressive identity and an exceptionally unique, world-famous colony of white squirrels.
