Clyde
Clyde was once an important holding area and loading
point for shipping livestock to more populous areas of the country. The small, friendly
 town later
evolved into a "bedroom" community for people who
work outside the area.
Rich in heritage, deep in
tradition, Clyde pays homage to the musical talents
of residents past through musicians such as Carroll
Best. Best may be most known for his mastery of the
melodic or "fiddle" style of picking on the banjo.

Clyde is home to the Shook
Smathers Museum, one of the oldest buildings still
standing in Haywood County. The museum is widely known for its association in the
foundation of Methodism in Hay wood
County.
The Town of Clyde is also known
for its tribute to Clyde township veterans who gave
their lives during World War I and II, Korean
Conflict and the Vietnam War.
