Old Fort is a small town located in McDowell County, North Carolina, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The town derives its name from a Revolutionary War-era fort that once stood in the area. Old Fort has a rich history as a railroad town, serving as an important stop on the Western North Carolina Railroad, which helped connect the western part of the state to the east.

The town's cultural heritage is closely tied to both its Native American history and its role in early American transportation and industry. Today, Old Fort maintains its historical character while serving as a gateway to outdoor recreation in the surrounding mountains. The town's railroad legacy is preserved through the Old Fort Railroad Museum, housed in a restored depot, which tells the story of the town's important role in the region's development.
