Abstract:
A land survey ending in 1737 established a boundary between North and South Carolina. In 1750, both states colonized towns in the same region, but it was not until 1762 that the British Board of Trade asked for the boundary to be resurveyed. Finally, in 1813, the boundary line dispute was concluded to the satisfaction of both states.\r\n

Abstract:
In the early national period, there were many clashes and disputes over authority in the expanding southern frontier. One not so well known but no less interesting was that dealing with the first Walton County Georgia. Originally a part of South Carolina, it later became an independent government, then a Georgia county and after a long dispute a part of North Carolina. The Federal government obtained the area from the Cherokees in 1798.
