Abstract:

Located in western North Carolina, the Uwharries are the oldest mountains on the North American continent. The mountains were first inhabited by the Uwharrie Indians, until gold was discovered and the area attracted more settlers. Today, attractions include the Uwharrie National Forest, Morrow Mountain State Park, and Town Creek Indian Mound.
