Indians Named River
Ecusta, Says Mr. Orr
ECUSTA meaning "deep" was tho
Indian name for tiio French Broad fiv
er, aeeordlng to J. M. Orr. aged Brevard
muslciun and liistorian, and the David
son river was railed "swift."
Mr. Orr states that lie lias as author
ity for his statement that ECUSTA was
applied to the French Broad river from
his grandmother, the late Nancy Jane
Clayton Orr, who as a youngster saw
the Indians on their annual treks here,
and thut Mrs. Orr related many in
stances which her mother had told her
that bears out the statement.
The Indians named the French Broad
back in tl.e days when the land whero
Plsgah Forest postoffice and manufac
turing plants now stand was a large
glade, practically impassable due to the
fact that waters from both the French
Bread and Davidson rivers overflowed
in that section.
Huckleberries grew in great profu
sion In the glades, Mr. Orr says, and
the Indians, their wives and children
came each year to gather the berries.
The men hunted and fished while tho
women and children gathered and dried
the berries.
Mr. Orr’s grandparents lived on the
West Indian trail, in what is new the
English Chapel section, and by this
reason came in contact with many of
the Indians.
Each year ns the Indians came to
gather berimes, the braves each brought
a hag of dirt, which they poured on a
large rock near Davidson River in some
sort of rites, and Mr Orr says this huge
mound that was built by the Indians
carrying the "offering" dirt In each
year grew to large proportions, and
may still be seen on the farm of W.
Mi K. Fetzor near the Davidson River.
First postoffice in the county was
also known as Ecusta, Mr. Orr said, in
reminiscing, with J.ee Gash as postmas
ter. Mail was carried in on horseback,
and later the same postoffice was stop
ping place for the star route that ran
from Asheville to Greenville. The office
was located n ar what is now known as
Blantyre, and was later moved to the
Boylston section, where it was still
known as Ecusta. Next two postoffices
in the county were located near Little
Giver and Cedar Mountain.
