I live in Clayton, so I can probably give you a basic rundown.
The people here are of several sorts:
"Locals," which to locals means you were born here and preferably have family dating back to at least 1 or two generations that were also born here.
"Blow-ins," who are folks like me who moved here from somewhere else.
"Out-of-towners:" Vacationers, Floridians and other people with part-time homes up here.
In the winter months, mainly only the people who live here hang around. The out-of-towners normally leave and comeback in the summer. Population goes way up in the spring and summer months.
The culture is unique. Some old-timers are still around who were here in the early 20th century. They grew up in a culture when moonshine was for the most part commonplace. Even some of the lawmen here have a history in the moonshine business. Otherwise, crafts have played a big part in the lives of old-timers, including weaving and woodcarving.
Across the board, the education system is very good here. The middle school is one of the best in the state and the other schools regularly win other state honors. Sports are big here. The locals really get behind the kids. Although they don't fair too well a lot of the time, the players seem to have a "won't quit" attitude on the field and court.
Well that's a brief rundown. Hope that helps. - J.
