Marion is the county seat of McDowell County, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina. The city was established in 1844 and named after Francis Marion, a military officer who served during the American Revolutionary War.
The area's history is deeply connected to the railroad industry and early American frontier settlement. Marion developed as a small mountain town at the intersection of major transportation routes, which contributed to its growth. The city maintains its small-town character while serving as a gateway to outdoor recreational activities in the surrounding mountains.
The local culture reflects the traditional arts and crafts of the Appalachian region, with influences from both Native American and European settler heritage.
