Record #:
12030
Abstract:
Arriving to Buncombe County during the last decade of the 18th-century, Scottish Presbyterians, locally known as the Swanino Circuit, opened the first school and church west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Followed by Methodists, Baptists, and Episcopalians, the region gradually developed as did the number of learning institutions and houses of worship.
