History

Cliffside was founded by Raleigh Rutherford (R.R.) Haynes, who established a textile mill there on the Second Broad River. High Shoals, a former community in this vicinity, was a post office as early as 1828.[6]

Cliffside Public School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[7]

gollark: And/or somehow more direct citizen involvement, although that could EASILY go horribly wrong.
gollark: The issues I think are most problematic are just companies being able to influence governance, and I'm not really sure what to do about that. Perhaps just have strong norms about having the government not do much.
gollark: You'd need a way to somehow be able to have some of the profit from new fundamental stuff go back to its original investors.
gollark: Probably some kind of long-term research investment things?
