Town of Sawmills
Known as the “Biggest Little Town in the Foothills,” Sawmills focuses on community spirit and a family-friendly atmosphere. In Sawmills, businesses thrive, and family comes first: several events are scheduled in Baird Drive Park throughout the year to help small businesses grow, and families spend time together.
The town has Caldwell County’s second-largest population and is among the largest in land area. This close-knit community is home to the county’s largest public school, South Caldwell High School, and many lakeside residential lots.
