The founding of Brevard County North Carolina in 1861 resulted in the creation of a millionaires' playground in Transylvania's Lake Toxaway. Looking back 100 years to its inception, historic events in Transylvania included the dredging of Broad River, and the launch of the steamboat Mountain Lily. As a millionaires' playground, Lake Toxaway was an escape for many famous personalities, such as Henry Ford, and Thomas A. Edison.

Abstract:
The author’s discussion of NC lakes reflected their importance as a source of recreation such as fishing and swimming, as well as backdrops for camping and picnicking. Examples were size (the Kerr Reservoir, fifty thousand acres), type (natural lakes are only in the Coastal Plain), and depth (Mattamuskeet, its greatest depth five feet). Discussed also were eastern lakes’ three groupings (peninsula between Pamlico River and Albemarle Sound; Pocosin slough between New Bern and Bogue Sound; in Columbus and Bladen county).
