The center of Catawba County
Location has long been the draw of Conver, an 8,000-resident-strong city in the heart of North Carolina’s Catawba County. Developed at a Y-shaped railroad junction, the area was originally called Wye Town. According to legend, the community was renamed Canova after the Italian sculptor, gradually giving way to “Conover.” Anchored by the crossroads of highways such as Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 70, the Conver grants commuters easy access to both the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton and Charlotte metropolitan areas while offering a small downtown and economic opportunities of its own. Manufacturers such as Corning and CommScope remain large employers.
