Description

Among the earliest visitors to the area were members of the militia, who came through the territory in May 1776, near the close of the American Revolution. Impressed with the rugged beauty, many of these soldiers returned with their families after the war and settled in the area. Descendents of these and other early settlers carried names that are found throughout Haywood County today.

One of the soldiers who settled after the war was Col. Robert Love, who founded and named the town of Waynesville. First called Mount Prospect, Waynesville was named in honor of Gen. “Mad Anthony” Wayne, one of the heroes of the American Revolution. The name was adopted in 1810 and the town was incorporated in 1871.

Shortly after Waynesville was settled, Haywood County was formed out of a portion of neighboring Buncombe County in 1808 and was named for John Haywood, who served as state treasurer from 1787 to 1827.
