Valle Crucis got its name when Levi Ives, the second Episcopal bishop of North Carolina, looked into the valley in 1840 and noticed three streams that converged into the shape of a cross. He then called it Valle Crucis, which is Latin for “Vale of the Cross.” Since then the community has grown into an idyllic place that has beckoned many homebuyers and visitors who have bought Valle Crucis homes either as permanent residences or vacation properties.
