The Story of Lake Lanier:

The initial concept of a lake near Tryon began, in 1915, as the vision of Dr. Jervey, Dr. Palmer, and Dr. White. The proposed sight was “the rich bottom lands along Vaughn's Creek as it made a loop off the slopes of Hogback Mountain.” It was to be named for poet Sidney Lanier. Plans were put on hold because of World War I. After the war, a Western NC development group approached the Chamber of Commerce about reviving the plan in order to “lure visitors from the outside to see the area's scenic wonders and maybe they will buy some of it.” And they did, and we did, and here it is! (Information from “Notes on Lake Lanier” by J.W. Lawrence, Sr.)
