Elkin, North Carolina | Complete Walkthrough 2023

Elkin is filled with history.

From the Paleo-Indians 10,000 years ago, to the  Sioux Indians settling along the Yadkin River as early as 500 BC.

English colonists came in the mid-eighteenth century along with some colonists from Ireland. Cherokee Indians were also in the area, although the Cherokees had been active in the French and Indian War, they had joined in treaties with the English in 1763, followed by the events of the American Revolution.

The beginning of industry with the cotton mill, the Civil War involvement, the coming of the railroad, the town's coping with the depression of the Thirties, and the two world wars heavily influenced the town's development. Chatham Manufacturing was famous for making World War II wool blankets for soldiers. There his a Civil War marker on West Main Street across from the Elkin Library.
