Welcome to the Town of Tryon's official web site! 

 

Incorporated in 1885 at the height of American railroad expansion, a thriving artisan village emerged in Tryon with a strong equestrian tradition and a nationally known tourism. The equestrian emphasis yet remains strong in our community long since the days when Tryon served as the training ground for the US Olympic equestrian teams.  Standing at the heart and geographical center of Tryon’s downtown is Morris, the Tryon Horse, a globally-famed icon, rising an impressive twenty-two hands high, who has presided over downtown festivities as the town mascot since 1928.  With its unique natural beauty and delightful downtown, Tryon is a great place to live, work and visit. 

 

Tryon is located in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and is approximately midway from the vibrant cities of Asheville and Charlotte, NC  and Greenville and Spartanburg, SC.   Tryon is known for it's wonderful people, outdoor activities, mild climate, small town shops and great restaurants.
