Its isolation may have helped to preserve the heritage and natural beauty of this mountain plateau, but it is the richness and complexity of the Floyd County culture that makes Floyd such a desirable place to live & work as well as a superb tourist destination.

Located on the crest of the Blue Ridge, Floyd County's lush landscapes are a continuing source of inspiration to artists and photographers alike. The county population is a mix of people whose families have been here for generations, families who came here in the 'Sixties during the back to the land movement, and the latest wave of families who discovered Floyd to be the perfect antidote to urban living.

There is a "connectedness" in Floyd that you don't find in many communities. People are quick to offer assistance and directions to visitors and often introduce them to other people who can help them. After you have been here a few days, you will notice that people you meet will already know who you are and will often strike up a conversation with you.

Welcome to Floyd!
Please make yourselves at home!
