    The movie "Nell" with Jodie Foster was filmed around Fontana, Cheohah area. The movie "Thunder Road" about moonshiners was filmed in the area(depending on which web info your read), some with actual moonshiners with cameras mounted on their cars.

    "Nell" cabin scenes were filled on Lake Santeetlah in Robbinsville as well.

    Graham county is the birthplace of country music legend Ronnie Milsap

    The county was formed January 30, 1872

    Two-thirds of the county is the Nantahala National Forest with elevation ranges from 1,177 to 5,560 feet

    The silent film, Stark Love, was filmed in Graham County and featured local residents as actors.

    The county has only three stop lights.

    Persons per square mile: 27.4 (North Carolina average is 165.2)

    The county is the only dry county in North Carolina

    The last one is a bummer, but the others were interesting. I like the limited number of stoplights. :D
