Polk County North Carolina
A county created, then abolished, and again established - that is Polk County which survived a bitter controversy over where the county seat should be located.
The area now embraced in Polk County in the
southwestern corner of North Carolina was settled long before the American
Revolutionary War. The early tide of settlement acted as a buffer between
Cherokee Indians in the West and the white settlers in the East. Cherokees
had occupied the entire Alleghany Mountain area from the Blue Ridge to the
Cumberland range, including the western half of Polk. Little evidence is
available that they had villages in this territory. However, large numbers
of the tribe used the lands as hunting grounds in summer. Hostile feelings
on the Cherokees' part toward white settlers were a menace to people
living near the foothills. See more

ATTENTION!
In a mere 24 hours the site has grown by leaps and bounds! I have redesigned the whole thing and put it on a new domain. I really enjoyed reading all of the old newspapers that Nancie O'Sullivan kindly gave me permission to put on the site. I linked the information in them to the appropriate categories.
Pages
to the left need your information!and are placed on the site
because
this is the information that I would like to include
here. Just because there is
a page, doesn't mean information has
been submitted.
Census transcribers are needed so that we can get
the Polk county Census online!
If you are interested in Transcribing
the Polk County Census please email
me.
I am looking for volunteers to do look-ups from materials
(books) that you have access to. If you would like to volunteer,
please send your information to me.
