History of Alamance County, NC
Re-enacting the Battle of Alamance . Before being formed as a county, the region had at least one known small Southeastern tribe of Native American in the 18th century - the Sissipahaw who lived in the area bound by modern Saxapahaw , the area known as the Hawfields, and Haw River . European settlers entered the region in the late 17th century chiefly following Native American trading paths, and set up their farms what they called the "Haw Old Fields", fertile ground previously tilled by the Sissipahaw. The paths later became the basis of the railroad and interstate highway routes. Alamance County was named after Great Alamance Creek , site of the Battle of Alamance . This pre-Revelutionary War battle in which militia under the command of Governor William Tryon crushed the Regulator movement. The Great Alamance Creek, and in turn the Little Alamance Creek, according to legend, were named after a local Native American word to describe the blue mud that was found at the bottom of the creeks. Other legends say that the name came from another local Native American word meaning "noisy river" or for the Alamanni region of Rhineland , Germany , where many of the early settlers would have come from. During the American Revolution , several small battles and skirmishes occurred in the area that would one day become Alamance County, several of them during the lead-up to the Battle of Guilford Courthouse , including Pyle's Massacre , the Battle of Lindley's Mill and the Battle of Clapp's Mill . In the 1780s, the Occaneechi Native Americans returned to North Carolina from Virginia , this time settling in what is now Alamance County rather than their first location near Hillsborough .
