==American Enka==
(詳細はNederlandse Kunstzijdefabriek'', and it is from the Dutch phonetic pronunciation of the initial letters N and K of the firm's name that "Enka" is derived. The alternative explanation that Enka stands for "Eerste Nederlandse Kunstzijdefabriek Arnhem" is incorrect.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Audiovisueel materiaal - Historisch Museum Ede )〕 The Dutch company considered many sites and decided on the Hominy Valley because of its supply of water and labor.〔 In 1929 the company began developing a community plan that included employee houses and became known as Enka Village. Enka Village is now a historic community and is part of the city of Asheville.
American Enka bought 2000 acres and built a $10 million plant. 1900 people worked there during the Great Depression, and that number reached 4300 after World War II. At one point 7000 people worked there. Amenities included a gym, a pool room, a bowling alley, two cafeterias and a library. Enka Lake Club opened on a lake built to supply the plant with water. Buses delivered employees from the surrounding area.〔
It was said that stricter environmental regulations led to a decline in rayon, and American Enka sold the plant to BASF in 1985. BASF sold the plant to Colbond Inc. in 2000, and as of 2007, rayon was no longer made. The northern section was sold to developers who tore down everything but the clock tower. Enka Lake became Biltmore Lake, part of Biltmore Farms, and three buildings became the Enka campus of Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College.〔
