Clyde, North
Carolina
Clyde
NC is a small town located just west of Asheville and has the
distinction of being "away from it all" but without the isolation
usually associated with mountain living. Long associated with neighboring
Canton,
Clyde is also home to
Haywood Community College and the
Haywood Regional Medical Center. Recently two industrial parks
have been developed just north of the Canton/Clyde. Clyde Township
was formed in 1877 from Pigeon, Beaverdam and Waynesville. At first
it was called Lower Pigeon. Later the township was named Clyde after
the little town that had grown up on the banks of the Pigeon River.
Clyde is surrounded by mountains and valleys which
afford numerous outdoor recreational opportunities to the visitors
and residents. Clyde is also the home of the
Shook Museum, housed in one
of the oldest buildings still standing in Haywood county. It was
build around 1795 by Jacob Shook for his son Peter. This house is
known and associated with the founding of Methodism in Haywood
County.
