Abstract:

Goerch visits Lee County and lists several things that make it different from other counties. It is one of three counties to have a coal mine. It is the only county to have a courthouse not located in a town. It is the youngest county in the state, with the exception of Avery and Hoke, having started operating in 1908. It has the shortest county name in the state.
