Peacock Town Community
Peacock Town is known as the neighborhood in and around Allen Street, First Avenue West, Whitted, and Oak streets. In the book Hidden History of Henderson County, the community was likely named for Samuel Peacock (1914-1980), who owned and sold lots in that sector of town and also owned a cafe and store there. Black-owned businesses like Kathleen’s Beauty Shoppe, the Landina Guest House, and more operated in Peacock Town and drew patrons from far beyond Hendersonville.
