Abstract:
A twelve-mile tract of land in the western part of the state, often called the \"Orphan Strip,\" was claimed in the early 1800s by North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Georgia called it Walton County. South Carolina said their settlers were there in 1786. North Carolina said their state was formed before Georgia. Jackson traces the claims and counter-claims among the states. The issue was finally settled at MaGaha Branch in January 1811, in what is called the Walton War. After 200 North Carolina militiamen fought an unorganized band of Georgians, the property became the sole possession of North Carolina.

Abstract:
The boundary between North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia was disputed in the early 1800s. While South Carolina and Georgia settled their boundary along the Tugaloo River in 1802, North Carolina and Georgia did not settle their boundary until 1807. Both sides claimed rights to an area called Walton County, and for five years the area became a lawless no-man's land where no state had the power to enforce laws. Both states sent representatives to a meeting in 1807, where the current boundaries were established. North Carolina successfully claimed the Walton County region.

Unable to settle the riotous border dispute, the Georgia-North Carolina commissioners engaged Major Andrew Ellicott, a noted surveyor, to locate the 35th parallel and set the boundary between North Carolina and Georgia.

Abstract:
The original boundary line between North and South Carolina, established more than two centuries ago, was clearly proved in recent years by a stately pine tree whose age is found to exceed 350 years. And if it weren't for this tree, chances are the states would still be squabbling over the location of the state line.
