Surry County, North Carolina
Surry County lies in the northwestern Piedmont foothills along the Virginia line, anchored by Mount Airy — inspiration for Mayberry — along with Elkin, Dobson, and Pilot Mountain. Its economy has pivoted from textile manufacturing to tourism and the Yadkin Valley wine trail, and development interest now clusters around vineyard acreage and Mount Airy's historic core rather than large-scale subdivisions.
