The Shiloh Community, known to some as New Shiloh, is a historic African American community. As Shiloh resident and historian Anita Carter-White notes, “According to oral and church histories, old Shiloh was located north of the Biltmore Estate. When George Vanderbilt bought the land for his mountain home in the late 1880’s he moved the entire community, including Shiloh Church and the church cemetery, to its current location.”
