clown car start[edit]
A clown car is a prop in a circus-clown routine. A common such routine involves numerous clowns emerging from a very small car, to humorous effect. The first performance of this routine was on the Cole Bros. Circus during the 1950s.[2]

asheville history starts here[edit]
Before the arrival of Europeans, the land where Asheville now exists lay within the boundaries of Cherokee country.[1] In 1540, Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto came to the area, bringing the first European visitors,[2] in addition to European diseases which seriously depleted the native population.[3] As the Cherokee were eventually dominated by European settlers, the area was used as an open hunting ground until the middle of the 19th century.[4]
The history of Asheville, as a town, begins in 1784. In that year Colonel Samuel Davidson and his family settled in the Swannanoa Valley, redeeming a soldier's land grant from the state of North Carolina. Soon after building a log cabin at the bank of Christian Creek, Davidson was lured into the woods by a band of Cherokee hunters and killed. Davidson's wife, child and female slave fled on foot to Davidson's Fort (named after Davidson's father General John Davidson) 16 miles away.
In response to the killing, Davidson's twin brother Major William Davidson and brother-in-law Colonel Daniel Smith formed an expedition to retrieve Samuel Davidson's body and avenge his murder. Months after the expedition, Major Davidson and other members of the his extended family returned to the area and settled at the mouth of Bee Tree Creek.
Over the course of years, more settlers came to the area. The United States Census of 1790 counted 1,000 residents of the area, excluding the Cherokee. The county of Buncombe was officially formed in 1792. The county seat, named “Morristown” in 1793, was established on a plateau where two old Indian trails crossed. In 1797 Morristown was incorporated and renamed “Asheville” after North Carolina Governor Samuel Ashe.[5][6]
