Abstract:
Wilkes County, formed in 1777, is not only a land of fine people but a land of mountains, apples, and poultry, with a dash of peach brandy added in. Brushy Mountain and Stone Mountain are scenic spots in Wilkes County, and one-sixth of all the apples produced in North Carolina come from this county as well. Wilkes County is also one of the biggest poultry producing counties in the state, while the Champion Poultry Farms are one of the largest in the world.
