Cherokee County
Cherokee County was formed in 1839 from
a part of Macon County, and is North Carolina’s western most
county, bordered by the states of Tennessee and Georgia, and
located in the southern tip of the Great Smokey Mountains.
Cherokee County was named to honor the Cherokee Indians who
inhabited this area before being removed and relocated to
Oklahoma in 1838. Those who escaped removal to Oklahoma now
live on the Cherokee Indian reservation in Cherokee, N.C.
Cherokee County has a historical museum, displaying over
2000 authentic Indian artifacts discovered in Cherokee
County (The museum is located next door to the Courthouse).
