 Jackson County, North Carolina lies in the western region of the state known as The Highlands. The county was formed in 1852 from parts of Haywood County and Macon County. It was named for Andrew Jackson, President of the United States from 1829 to 1837. In 1861 parts of Jackson County and Henderson County were combined to form Transylvania County. Then, a decade later In 1871, parts of Jackson County were again ceded with parts of adjacent Macon County to form the new Swain County.
Jackson County is an old-fashioned kind of place. That means a place where people still care about each other, where the cost of living hasn't gone out of sight, and folks still can leave their doors unlocked. But Jackson County has sophistication, too: a variety of cultural activities, a state university and a community college, access to first-rate health care, and many other benefits.
Several movies have been filmed in the Jackson County, including the 1993 blockbuster action-adventure, The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, the 1972 drama Deliverance and the 1996 comedy, My Fellow Americans, starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner. The infamous train wreck scene in "The Fugitive" was filmed in Dillsboro, along the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The wreckage set can still be viewed on outbound train excursions from Dillsboro. The later scene in a small hospital was filmed at Harris Regional Hospital in Sylva. The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad was also used in the filming of "My Fellow Americans" when they stumble on to a charter train full of UNC-Chapel Hill fans headed for the NCAA Final Four. Mill Street on the back side of downtown Sylva was used for a short driving scene in the filming of "Deliverance."
But, while Jackson County is certainly a fascinating place to visit, it's an even better place to live. The old hymn that says, "There is beauty all around," seems to have penned about Jackson County, NC. Beauty in the mountain ranges, in the fertile valleys, in meandering streams and rushing waterfalls. Beauty, too, in the people who live here, friendly people who lift a hand in a neighborly wave as you pass them on the road, who answer questions about the area with native courtesy and quiet dignity. And beauty in the professional people who help you if they know an easier way to do things or a way that might save you time and money.
