Just a little history: Murphy is a small town in the county seat of Cherokee County, North Carolina, It is situated at the confluence of the Hiwassee and Valley rivers. It is the westernmost county seat in the state of NC approximately 360 miles from the state capital. Cherokee County had long been part of the homelands of the Cherokee people. They knew this site along the Hiwassee River as Tlanusi-yi (the Leech Place). They had a legend about a giant leech named Tlanusi, that lived in the river here.[7] The Trading Path (later called the "Unicoi Turnpike") passed by the future site of Murphy, connecting the Cherokee lands east of the mountains with what were known to European colonists as the "Overhill Towns" of Tennessee. In 1836, during the Cherokee removal known as the Trail of Tears, the United States army built Fort Butler in what is today Murphy. Fort Butler was used as the main collection point by the government for Cherokee east of the mountains. From Fort Butler, the Cherokee were taken over the mountains on the Unicoi Turnpike to the main internment camps at Fort Cass (today Charleston, Tennessee), prior to their forcible removal to territory west of the Mississippi River, in what became known as Indian Territory (today's Oklahoma). I hope you enjoyed a little history of the area per Wikipedia Agent Remarks: Vacant Land Show Anytime, Buyers responsible for their own well/water
