Jones Knob	on the Haywood-Jackson county line. Alt. 6,240-6,260. Formerly known as Jones's Folly because, at a time when Elisha Mitchell and Thomas Clingman were contending over the highest peak in the southern Appalachians, a man named Jones came into the area and reported the knob to be the highest mountain. Upon questioning him, his friends discovered that he had not been near the top, so they called it Jones's Folly. In the 1850s, Arnold Guyot tried to name the peak Mount Junaluska, but the name did not stick.
