Boone is a town located in the northern mountains of North Carolina and in Watauga County, North Carolina, for which it is the county seatGR6 and market town. The population was 13,472 at the 2000 census.

Boone acquires its name from the famous pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone, who on several occasions camped at a site generally agreed to be within the present city limits. Boone was served by the legendary narrow gauge East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC) (also known as "Tweetsie Railroad").

Boone is the site of the Appalachian State University (ASU), a constituent member of the University of North Carolina. It has an enrollment that exceeds 15,000.

"Horn in the West", a dramatization of the life and times of Daniel Boone, has been performed in an outdoor amphitheatre above the town every summer since 1952. The original "Daniel Boone" was Ned Austin, whose "Hollywood Star" stands on a pedestal on King Street downtown. The multi Grammy award winner,guitar player Doc Watson also comes from the Boone area, as do many bluegrass musicians and Appalachian storytellers.
