== Fun facts ==
* The town's history is closely tied to manufacturing. Much of the remaining early housing stock is characteristic of early 20th century mill villages. Many neighborhoods within the community bear names tied to the industry, such as "Martel Village" and "Company Bottom". The decline of American industry in the 1970s and '80s brought a decline to the economy of Woodfin as well. The loss of many manufacturing jobs led to a decline in population and property values. Starting in the 1990s, however, the town has experienced new residential growth, due primarily to the influx of new residents to western North Carolina. Woodfin's economy today is a mix of large- and small-scale manufacturing, combined with a variety of residential and commercial districts.
* Woodfin is a mostly residential suburb, and doesn't have much to offer. It has dollar stores, a Domino's, Subway, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, CVS, Play Staytion Amusement Park, a sports complex, a bit of public battle fields, Craggy Mountain Line, a YMCA, and not much else.
