CITY VERSUS MAILING CITY: There is a distinction between "cities" and "mailing cities." Cities are legal entities and incorporated as such. However, "mailing cities" are more useful in locating where a specific real estate property is located. Some of the cities listed are actually "mailing cities," that is, cities in name only and are not incorporated.

SPECIAL NOTES:
1. County seats are noted with an asterik.
2. The city proper of Fletcher is entirely within Henderson County.
3. Skyland is a U.S. Post Office located in South Buncombe, just north of Arden and south of Asheville. While many people refer to the "Skyland area," technically, Skyland is not a mailing city, because the post office offers only mailboxes and counter service, and does not deliver mail to any area.
