Bryson City is a small town located in Swain County, North Carolina, United States. It is nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains and serves as the county seat. The history of Bryson City and Swain County is closely intertwined with the natural beauty of the region, Native American heritage, and the development of the railroad.

Before European settlers arrived, the area was inhabited by the Cherokee people.
