Valdese, NC is a community located  in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, unique by their heritage and proud of their rich and diverse culture.

Valdese is a place where a walk down the flowered brick sidewalk on Main Street takes you back to your childhood when worries were few and summer days seemed to last forever, where you can sit on a bench and watch the world go by...

But just as Valdese is rich in history, it also boasts a number of exciting industries and businesses whose products are shipped throughout the country and around the world.

Valdese strives to maintain this balance between capitalism and tourism. While we offer many career opportunities, Valdese can still provide the type of community suitable for growing up or growing old.
