Draft:Stecoah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Resubmitted. It would be weird to redirect an extant community to a historic Indian site in a different county. Hopefully User:Robert McClenon moves us forward and corrects his error. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Not to be confused with Cowee

Stecoah is a community in northern Graham County, North Carolina.[1] It has also been documented as Stekoah.

The Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center is in the former Stecoah Union School.[2][3] The stone building's auditorium has been restored and it is adorned with the school colors, blue and gold. A historic panoramic photographic of people outside it is also on display.[2]

The former Cherokee village of Stecoah was home to Cherokee until it was destroyed and later sold.[4] It is a historic site in Martin County.[5]

There is a Stecoah Gap[6] and a Stecoah Creek.[7]
