Dubbed Piney Bottom by its English and Scottish settlers in the early 18th century, modern-day Foxfire Village came into existence in 1967 when it was transformed into a scenic resort and residential community. Developers Rowland McKenzie and Dan Tomlinson named the community for a mysterious luminescence seen on plants and decaying wood. The area is historically significant as the site of an American Revolution skirmish between the Tories and Whigs in 1780 and was a favorite hunting site for Native Americans before that. The Village is situated on a hill, making it one of the highest elevations in Moore County and is surrounded by rich farmland known for cotton, tobacco, and peach orchards. A quaint community firmly rooted in golf. Foxfire is home to golfing great Gene Hamm's traditionally designed 36-hole course and is perhaps summed up best by the Village's tagline, "Where there are no strangers, just friends you haven't met yet."
