Morganton is the county seat of Burke County, located in the foothills of western North Carolina. The city has a rich history dating back to the 18th century and sits in the Catawba River valley, surrounded by the picturesque Appalachian Mountains.

The area was historically significant for Native American settlements, particularly the site of the Native American city of Joara, where archaeologists discovered evidence of Fort San Juan, the first European settlement in the interior of North America (1567). Today, Morganton combines its historical heritage with a vibrant downtown area featuring historic architecture, local businesses, and cultural venues. The city maintains strong ties to both its cultural history and traditional crafts, while also supporting contemporary arts through various galleries and cultural programs.
