Fletcher
Fletcher was first settled in 1795 when Samuel Murray decided to move his family to the mountains of western North Carolina.
His family made the difficult journey from South Carolina up the old Howard Gap Road which in areas was little more than an old Indian trail. Samuel decided he wanted to live just east of the location where Howard Gap Road ended which is very close to where Fletcher Community Park is located today. In 1827, Samuel’s son opened the first post office in the Limestone District and the area became known as Murrayville.
The Town of Fletcher, which was incorporated in 1989, is located in Henderson County, North Carolina approximately 13 miles south of Asheville. Fletcher consists of primarily level and at times hilly terrain, which is dominated by Cane Creek and French Broad River and their tributaries.
