Native American trails guided settlers to this site, where in 1793 the Buncombe County Court placed the first courthouse, prison, and stocks. With the opening of the Buncombe Turnpike in 1827, this public square became a crossroads for stagecoach travelers and a gathering place for drovers who herded cattle, hogs, and turkeys to market farther south.
