This area was once a vital hub of iron production, harnessing the rich mineral deposits of the surrounding mountains and the power of the local waterways to fuel its growth. Evidence of this past can still be glimpsed in the remnants of old millraces and the sturdy, time-worn stone foundations that peek from beneath moss and undergrowth. While the days of heavy industry have largely passed, the echoes of that hardworking spirit linger, shaping the character of Cove Forge and its people, a quiet resilience woven into the fabric of daily life, where the rhythm of the seasons still dictates much of the local economy, with agriculture and small businesses forming the backbone of the present.
