  • Yadkin County Heritage Plan
    Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Yadkin County Heritage Tourism Plan Overview of Yadkin County History1 Yadkin County was created by an act of the North Carolina Legislature on December 28, 1850.2 At that time, it had been the part of Surry County lying south of the Yadkin River. The new county was bordered on two sides by the Yadkin River, on the west by Wilkes County, and on the south by Davie and Iredell counties. Indians The name Yadkin can be found in a 1674 letter from Abraham Wood in which he refers to a village called “Yattken Towne.” American Indians had long used the area as a hunting ground, and at least two major Indian trails crossed the county: a southwest fork of the Saura-Saponi trail, and an east-west trail near Boonville, known as the Occonee Trail. Excavations by archaeologists from Wake Forest University have uncovered numerous Indian burial sites in the Yadkin River bottoms. The Shallow Ford and other places the river could be crossed were used by the Indians. Early Settlers Early settlers to the Yadkin County area found abundant wildlife. Settlers from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland traveled down the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road to the land beyond the Yadkin River. They built homes from the tall forest pine, and cleared land for farms along the creeks and streams. Some of the earliest settlers in the area were the Morgan Bryan and Squire Boone families. Daniel Boone lived in this area for 20 years, and his route from this area to Kentucky has been marked by the Daughters of the American Revolution at Huntsville and Yadkinville.
