Most people in Henderson County are still using horses and mules and traveling in wagons and buggies.
People now use the railroad to travel to nearby cities and transport industrial and agricultural goods out of the county. More and more goods to stock stores in the county arrive by rail.
A few early cars are seen on the streets prior to 1920.
There is a street car, at first pulled by mules and horses, and later running on electricity in downtown Hendersonville.
By 1920, buses are now transporting people to area towns. The first bus line to Asheville began in 1918.
Fast communication is available via the telegraph.
With the telephone line to Asheville completed by 1900, folks in the town of Hendersonville now have telephone service. There are 225 telephones in operation in Hendersonville in 1908.
The post office began rural routes in 1902. The first rural route began in Fletcher. This led to the closing of most of the small community and neighborhood post offices, leaving post offices in the primary communities with rural routes to serve the area.
A new post office opened in 1908 in East Flat Rock, near the train depot. It was in 1910 that the train depot was built in Zirconia, with a post office located nearby.
In 1911 ground was broken for a new post office in Hendersonville at the corner of Fourth Avenue West and Church Street. This building is now preserved as the Federal Building.
