Yadkin County is located in the foothills, or Yadkin Valley, of North Carolina. The Blue Ridge Mountains serve as a distant backdrop for the gently rolling landscape. The county takes its name from the Yadkin River, which serves as the northern and eastern boundaries of the county.

Since it was founded in 1850, Yadkin has been comprised of farming communities with crops including grains, corn, soybeans, tobacco and various livestock operations. Recently, along with the traditional crops, vineyards, horticultural nurseries and turf farming endeavors have found climate and soil favorable here.

While the population is growing in Yadkin, there are still many open spaces and woodlands here. Old farmhouses still dot the countryside along side the new housing developments. Historical landmarks recall times gone by and the two interstate highways remind us of the possibilities the future holds.
