Graham County, Administrative county in western North Carolina, United States
Graham County spans across 301 square miles of land, with two-thirds of its territory covered by the Nantahala National Forest and mountainous terrain.
William A. Graham, a United States Senator and Governor of North Carolina, became the namesake for this county when it formed from Cherokee County in 1872.
The Snowbird Cherokee community maintains their presence within Graham County through portions of the Qualla Boundary, preserving Native American traditions.
The Graham County Courthouse in Robbinsville handles civil and criminal cases, providing electronic filing systems and jury services for its 8,030 residents.
Graham County held the distinction of being the final dry county in North Carolina until 2021, when it permitted the sale of alcoholic beverages.
