Wilkes County was formed in 1777 from parts of Surry County and Washington District (now Washington County, Tennessee). It was named for the English political radical John Wilkes, who lost his position as Lord Mayor of the City of London due to his support for the colonists during the American Revolution. Its county seat is Wilkesboro. Wilkes County comprises the North Wilkesboro, NC Micropolitan Statistical Area.
