Buncombe, North Carolina, United States



 


Notes:
[1791 - present]

Buncombe county was formed in 1791 from parts of Burke and Rutherford counties.  In 1808 the western part of Buncombe County became Haywood County. In 1833 parts of Burke and Buncombe counties were combined to form Yancey County. In 1838 the southern part of what was left of Buncombe County became Henderson County. In 1851 parts of Buncombe and Yancey counties were combined to form Madison County. Finally, in 1925 the Broad River township of McDowell County was transferred to Buncombe County.
