Though initially benefiting from the lumber industry in the late 19th century, the city steadily declined thereafter until the 1950s, when, like the surrounding region, the growth of tourism and recreation in the Current River valley brought more economic activity to Birch Tree. Since then, it has gradually risen again in population.
