Walton War

The Walton War was an 1810 boundary dispute between North Carolina and Georgia over a 12-mile (19 km) 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 by noted surveyor Andrew Ellicott, found it to be out of its jurisdiction, and ceded it to North Carolina.
