History/Timeline
Yadkin County was formed in 1850 from the part of Surry County south of the Yadkin River, for which it was named.
Yadkin County is one of 31 North Carolina counties in Appalachia today, as is Surry County.[1] In 1927, Forsyth County (also in Appalachia) gained from Yadkin County.[2]
Categorizing Appalachians
- People profiles for Appalachians who lived on the land that today is Yadkin County should be categorized under North Carolina Appalachians and the approrpriate location category (or categories), based on when they lived there. For example, before 1850, this would be Surry County; before 1770, Rowan County (from which Surry County was formed), even though today's Rowan County is not in Appalachia.
- Note - this section still needs to be developed, to include links to the appropriate categories (complicated because of apparent duplicate county categories under North Carolina and North Carolina, Early Settlers). Links for the North Carolina categories can be found in the North Carolina table on the Appalachia Project's Counties of Appalachia page. ~ Noland-165, 15 July 2022
Stickers
- {{Appalachian Roots}}
{{Appalachian Roots|state=North Carolina}}
- The state parameter is used to add text to the sticker, but it does not add a category (this sticker is for descendants of Appalachians; project categories are for Appalachians). See Template: Appalachian Roots for additional examples.
- {{Appalachia Sticker}}
{{Appalachia Sticker|born|state=North Carolina}}
- This sticker has born and lived/lives in options. The state parameter will add text to the sticker. It will also add the corresponding Appalachians category (there are 13 project categories for "people profiles" - see Category: Appalachians). You can add additional Appalachians categories manually (e.g., [[Category: Virginia Appalachians]]). The Appalachians categories are for people profiles only and should only be added to profiles for Appalachians who lived there when it was that state (in other words, do not add Category: West Virginia Appalachians to someone's profile if they died before 1 June 1863). Generally, the earliest North Carolina settlers who could have been in land that is today Appalachia would have been in Anson County (created in 1750). See the project's North Carolina Workspace for additional information.
- See Template: Appalachia Sticker for details about "born in" and "lived in" (and "lives in") options.
- {{North Carolina Sticker|text=was a resident of Yadkin County.}}
