| Tow String Creek | rises in NE Swain County and flows SW into Oconaluftee River. Named because an old woman who lived on the creek made tow strings for the settlers. |
| Tower Hill | former plantation of Governor Arthur Dobbs in what is now NE Lenoir County. He purchased 850 acres there in 1755 as a possible site for a provincial capital. By an act of the Assembly in 1758, the site was purchased for a capital to be named George City in honor of King George II. The capital was not approved by authorities in London, and the property eventually was sold by the state in 1799. Tower Hill appears on the Collet map, 1770. The name apparently originated because an "old redoubt tower" remained there from a fort constructed during the Tuscarora War, 1711-13. See also George City. |
