Lake Glenville Area History

Lake Glenville is the highest lake east of the mississippi. It has an elevation of 3,942 feet. There are 26 miles of shoreline, several waterfalls, and a surface area of over 1500 acres. The lake is fed by five tributaries and dozens of creeks and streams. Glenville is a beautiful community rich in history.

The original name was Hamburg Township and was settled in 1827. It suffered during the Civil War, but was slowly rebuilt, and in the late 1880's was once again a thriving area with industries such as lumbering, tanning, and mining. In January of 1891, the town was renamed Glenville. During WWII, in 1940 and 1941, the Nantahala Power and Light Company, then owned by ALCOA Company, constructed a dam on the Tuckasegee River so it could supply their company with more electricity to make aluminum for the war effort.

While filling the new lake, it encompassed the entire valley north of Cashiers, flooding the town of Glenville and all the schools, homes, businesses, and farmlands up to a depth of 300 feet.
