Quick Facts

History & Context

History The history of cashiers in North Carolina is closely tied to the region's natural beauty, economic development, and evolution as a tourist destination. Cashiers is a small community located in southern Jackson County, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, including lush forests, waterfalls, and the nearby Nantahala National Forest. Cashiers was originally settled by European immigrants in the early 19th century. The area was primarily inhabited by the Cherokee Native American tribe before the arrival of European settlers. The name "Cashiers" is believed to have originated from a corruption of the term "Cashes," which refers to the place where traders and settlers conducted business with the Cherokee. In the early years, Cashiers remained a quiet farming and livestock-raising community. However, the construction of the railroad in the late 19th century brought significant changes to the region. The Southern Railway Company's extension into western North Carolina provided easier access to the area, attracting more visitors and new residents.
