Walton War

Walton War

The Walton War was an 1810 boundary dispute between North Carolina and Georgia over a 12 mile strip of land in present day Transylvania County, North Carolina. There were two major clashes between the two state's militias, the Battle of McGaha Branch and the Battle of Selica Hill. Both of these battles resulted in victory for the North Carolina militia. A year later Georgia authorized a survey of the strip and found it to be out of its jurisdiction, and ceded it to North Carolina.
