Abstract:

Granville County was once considered a \"frontier county\" because it functioned from 1746-1752 largely without government organization and its sheer size encompassed a large area which is now split into Orange, Vance, Warren, and Franklin counties. This article reviews the geographical traits of the area and early settlement patterns within the large territory.
