Sparta, the seat of Alleghany County, is located about 77 miles NW of
Winston-Salem. Alleghany County is known for its preserved scenic
beauty, and relaxed peaceful lifestyle. Nestled between ancient rivers
and age-old mountains that reach splendid heights, the area's charm
and pleasant atmosphere is matched by a very comfortable and gentle
climate.
Even on the hottest days of summer, a
cool refreshing breeze is guaranteed by the lofty elevation.
Approximately 17 million people per
