Founded in 1844 and named for Revolutionary War general Francis Marion — the "Swamp Fox" of guerrilla warfare — this pocket-sized North Carolina county seat sits close to the mountains with a café and restaurant scene that is unusually rich for its size. Its Main Street Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the town holds a concentration of historic churches for a community of its scale.
