Cashiers, North Carolina History

Cashiers, North Carolina



Cashiers is a census-designated place and unincorporated village located in southern Jackson County, North Carolina. As of the 2000 census, the community had a total population of 196. The name is pronounced "cash-ers", rather than "cash-ears" (like cashiers at a grocery store checkstand) as non-locals often mispronounce it.
It is said that the name derives from those who weighed the gemstones found in the hills of western North Carolina and paid out the cash to the miners who brought them to the crossroads there. It is also said to be a man's surname instead.
The town is served by U.S. 64 to Highlands (west) and Rosman (east), and N.C. 107 to Sylva (north) and Walhalla (south, via S.C. 107). The village is centered around the crossroads of the two.
It 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly passed local legislation allowing Cashiers to incorporate as a village, however this was turned down by a vote of 161 to 302 in a local referendum on August 12th. [1] In North Carolina, the village status would allow it to have its own government and levy taxes, but not require it to provide any services as cities must, and not allow it any extraterritorial jurisdiction as towns have.
It was apparently the issue of potential taxes that caused the referendum to be turned down. Instead, the county created zoning for Cashiers, which does not exist for most of the county, even in other similar places like Dillsboro. The zoning council for Cashiers is run by the county, therefore there are no extra local taxes supporting it.
Cashiers has a charter as a town from 1927, but this is now inactive as it has had no actual government for some time, if ever. Since this has never been repealed, it is unclear why it could not be reactivated instead. The new village would have had a council-manager government.

NC-Lake Glenville area History

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.

Here the pace of life is such that you can do some things you seldom have time to do. Sit by a rushing creek basking in the warmth of the sun on your back. Amble along a trail, stopping often to admire a wildflower or to look up into a tree to find that elusive bird that is singing to you.

Take a leisurely ramble in your car, exploring, finding grand mountain views, weathered barns, tiny towns that are nothing more than a filling station and a post office. Most valued in the area are the people and children that make this place home.
