The "colony" was owned by a land speculator and judge Richard Henderson and was basically stolen from the Cherokee who used the area for hunting grounds. The name supposedly comes from the Latin "trans" meaning across, and "sylva" meaning woods. It was also the name of his company, The Transylvania Company. So you are correct that there is no tie to Romania, lovely as it might have been.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-69125949883768198562019-04-12T18:26:17.120-04:002019-04-12T18:26:17.120-04:00I'll share a question that came up when we dro...I'll share a question that came up when we drove through a corner of Brevard the other day...onto 276 in Pisgah Forest. What is the source of Transylvania County's name? We know there's another one in Romania. But doubt very highly that Romanians were given the honor of this county's name. I tried looking on the internet, and found no clues.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.com
