About this city
Also known as: The Friendliest Town in the South
Tryon is an exceptionally elegant, historic equestrian resort village nestled within the rolling green foothills of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, right along the South Carolina border. Settled dynamically in the post-Civil War era and incorporated in 1885, the town is heavily defined by its highly unique isothermal belt climate anomaly, which causes unusually mild year-round mountain temperatures. Today, Tryon holds an internationally revered status as a legendary capital for elite professional horse sports, pairing historic shingle-style horse training ranches with a thriving artisan arts culture.
