SYLVA NC | Jackson County North Carolina | Retirement Vlog #47
This is our retirement and we will show you where to go in 2022. Our next early retirement travel adventure during our US travel vlog took us to Sylva NC. It felt like we were in one of the best small towns in America. With the beautiful Jackson County North Carolina Courthouse overlooking the town, great restaurants and breweries, along with outstanding outdoor activities in the area, it was no wonder this small town became one of our favorites.
Our host for the visit was actually the Chief of Police for the town and all we can say is southern hospitality at its very best! We had such a great time.
We stayed in a wonderful mountain cabin near town and got to experience a fun rafting trip on the Tuckasegee River with the Dillsboro River Company. The 5.5 mile trip was relaxing and scenic, and even took us by the train wreck scene from the hit 1993 movie, The Fugitive.
If you find yourself in the North Carolina mountains, be sure to give Sylva some time and enjoy all this beautiful small town has to offer. You won’t regret it.
Consider subscribing to our Retirement Travelers channel for more ideas on what to do in retirement as we plan to travel the world for the next 10 years as travel vloggers. Early retirement has been good to us and we want to share our experiences with you and hopefully inspire you to live your best retirement lives.

ABOUT US:
As the #retirementtravelers, we have always dreamed of traveling, but we never in a million years thought we would become #travelvloggers and start a YouTube channel. But, that is what we did! We work hard every day to become better and create something that others will enjoy. Having a community of friends, old and new, follow our journey is fun and exciting to us.
In 2019, we achieved our goal of visiting every state in the union in our Airstream. We also visited every national park in the lower 48. We are big believers in lists, so of course we plan to see the remaining 12 parks in the next few years.
In 2021, we made the big decision to extreme downsize to just a suitcase and a small backpack, each. We started our journey around the world beginning in Central America. We hope that over the next ten years, we will have seen many beautiful things, made many memories and new friends, and shared the experience with our children and grandchildren.
We hope you enjoy the journey with us. Drop us a note in the comments and be sure to hit subscribe! ???? ???? ????

Driving Downtown, Sylva, NC, USA 2020 | Slow TV

History
The former Jackson County Courthouse (now a library)
The town became the county seat in 1913 after the county voted to move the seat from Webster to Sylva, which gained a railroad station. Subsequently, Webster declined, as the railroad had not established a stop in that town. Many businesses followed the court and railroad to Sylva. The majestic Jackson County Courthouse was constructed in 1914 and is sited dramatically on a hill at the end of Main Street in downtown Sylva. (The building no longer serves as the official courthouse; the Justice Center was constructed in 1994, a few blocks away.) Since 2011, the Jackson County Courthouse has been the site of the Jackson County Public Library.
The town has the main county high school, Smoky Mountain High School; the county library, county hospital, Justice Center, and two K-8 elementary schools: Scotts Creek east of town, and Fairview located behind the high school. The local newspaper is The Sylva Herald, founded in 1926.
Sylva claims that it once had Dills Falls, a 249-foot waterfall, making it the only town in the US that had a waterfall in town limits, until it was destroyed to build the Sylva bypass. However, the waterfall was only around 40 feet tall, and was never destroyed. There are also many towns in the US, and even North Carolina, to have waterfalls in their town limits. The town had the first municipally owned swimming pool west of Asheville. The stone and concrete pool was built in 1938 by the WPA during the Great Depression; it was demolished in 1969 to be replaced by the current pool. Thomas Edison and Franklin D. Roosevelt both traveled through Sylva: Edison in 1911 and FDR in 1936 during his presidency.
The Downtown Sylva Historic District, Dr. D. D. Hooper House, and Jackson County Courthouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9][10]

Visiting Historic Downtown Sylva, North Carolina + Judaculla Rock
Today I'm taking a trip in the mountains of North Carolina to historic downtown Sylva with a bonus trip to Judaculla rock. Nestled in the heart of the western NC mountains, Main Street offers an array of shopping, dining, lodging, and history. Judaculla rock contains ancient carvings and petroglyphs that are over 1,000 years old. Come with me as I walk around and explore this little mountain town, as well as witness a piece of history at Judaculla rock!
Located off US-74 in Jackson County, downtown Sylva is about an hour's drive from Asheville NC.
Judaculla Rock is located about 20 minutes south of Sylva a few minutes off of NC-107.

Driving Downtown, Sylva, NC, USA 2021 | Slow TV | 4K Ultra HD
A drive to the city center of Sylva, NC in July 2021.
From Wikipedia
Sylva is an incorporated town located in central Jackson County, in the Plott Balsam Mountains of Western North Carolina, United States of America. As of the 2010 census, the town had a total population of 2,588.[5] It is the county seat,[6] taking over the role from nearby Webster in 1913.
Etymology[edit]
According to popular accounts, Sylva is named after William D. Sylva, a Danish handyman who spent a month in the home of General E. R. Hampton, who owned much of the land later developed as downtown Sylva. When the town applied for a post office, Hampton asked his young daughter Mae what the town's name should be. She liked the handyman so much she said, Sylva.[7] This account is disputed: according to a 21st-century investigation, the handyman William D. Sylva was not Danish, and it is likely that his surname was not Sylva. His last name was Selvey; the letter that he wrote to the town was likely in Portuguese, not Danish; and he was probably from the Little Canada Community. His daughter's maiden last name was Selvey according to genealogical archives. Her daughter (who recently came to the town) said that her grandfather's surname was Selvey instead.[8]
History[edit]

The Downtown Sylva Historic District, Dr. D. D. Hooper House, and Jackson County Courthouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9][10]
Geography[edit]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 3.2 square miles (8.3 km2), all of it land.
Sylva is close to the Cherokee Indian Reservation (the Eastern band) and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, both of which are popular, well-known vacation spots.

Canton, North Carolina 4K (DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone Footage) Nestled in the Beautiful Appalachian Mts.
Canton is the second largest town in Haywood County, North Carolina, United States. It is located about 17 miles (27 km) west of Asheville and is part of that city's metropolitan area. The town is named after the city of Canton, Ohio. The population was 4,227 at the 2010 census.
This area was long settled by succeeding indigenous cultures. What is known as the archeological Garden Creek site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located on the south side of the Pigeon River, approximately seven miles west of Canton. It was inhabited from 8000 BCE by successive cultures of indigenous peoples. Villages were developed in the Middle Woodland (200-600 CE) and The Southeast Appalachian Mississippian culture ((1000 to 1450/1500 CE) periods. The Cherokee people are the most recent Native Americans to occupy this area, which is part of their homelands in the western Carolinas, southeastern Tennessee, and northeastern Georgia. The Cherokee in Western North Carolina are known as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, a federally recognized tribe.
The prehistoric peoples built a total of four earthwork mounds at the site. Three have been excavated, the last two platform mounds in the 1960s prior to residential development.
European Americans did not begin to settle here until the late 1780s, following the American Revolutionary War, United States independence, and gaining cessions of land to the US by the Cherokee. By 1790, Jonathan McPeters was farming the banks of the Pigeon River at the site where Canton developed. Around 1815 the first church was built in what was to become Canton; it was called the Locust Old Field Baptist Church. Old Field: is a common term referring to areas cultivated or occupied by the Cherokee people, as this was known to be part of their traditional homelands.
Canton was founded in 1889 as Buford. Later that same year, the name was changed to Vinson. The name was changed to Pigeon Ford in 1891, and to Canton in 1893. The town was named for Canton, Ohio, the source of the steel for the bridge that was built across the Pigeon River.
Canton's river location enabled the development of industry that used water power.
Peter G. Thomson had built Champion Coated Paper Company of Hamilton, Ohio into one of largest manufacturers of paper in the United States.[10] He visited Western North Carolina in 1905 looking for a location for a pulp mill to supply his company. The area had large forests that would supply timber. Leaders of communities farther to the west tried to convince Thomson to choose their areas. While the timber supplies were greater to the west, Thomson wanted areas with more spruce and settled on Canton, which had the type trees Thomson wanted, enough land for a mill, and the Pigeon River to move logs to the mill. Thomson later realized the river did not have enough of a slope, so railroads were used to move logs instead. Construction on the mill began in 1906. Many of the workers also had farms that they had to return to, so immigrants were hired to do much of the work.
Thanks to Wikipedia!!
Hope you enjoyed the views of Canton. Hope you enjoyed the views from a Bird's Eye View!
