Welcome to Transylvania County!

It does not take long to understand why Rand McNally, The Wall Street Journal and National Geographic Traveler name this as one of America's top ten places to live, work and play. "Transylvania" in Latin means "across the woods." We are also know as the "Land of Waterfalls" with over 250 in the county.
