In the year 1796, one of the early land speculators, John Gray Blount, paid for 326,640 acres (1,321.9 km<sup>2</sup>) of land, a portion of which later became Yancey County. </p><p>In December 1833, the <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_General_Assembly" title="North Carolina General Assembly">General Assembly</a> established a new western county, named Yancey, from sections of <a href="/wiki/Burke_County,_NC" class="mw-redirect" title="Burke County, NC">Burke</a> and <a href="/wiki/Buncombe_County,_NC" class="mw-redirect" title="Buncombe County, NC">Buncombe</a> counties. Yancey County was named in honor of <a href="/wiki/Bartlett_Yancey" title="Bartlett Yancey">Bartlett Yancey</a>, of Caswell County. As a U.S. congressman (1813–1817) and as Speaker of the N.C. Senate (1817–1827), he was instrumental in many accomplishments that benefited the state, including the creation of an education fund that was the beginning of the N.C. Public School System. He was an advocate of correcting the inequality in representation in the General Assembly by the creation of new western counties; but he died on August 30, 1828, over five years before the General Assembly created a new county named in his honor. In Yancey's boundaries looms <a href="/wiki/Mount_Mitchell_(North_Carolina)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mount Mitchell (North Carolina)">Mount Mitchell</a>, the highest peak in the Eastern U.S., at 6,684 feet (2,037 m) above sea level. </p><p>On March 6, 1834, "Yellow Jacket" John Bailey conveyed 100 acres (0.40 km<sup>2</sup>) of land for the county seat. John was given the nickname for his famous temper as told in the books <i>The Bailey Family of Yancey County, North Carolina</i> and <i>Heritage of the Tow River Valley</i> by Lloyd Richard Bailey Sr. The town was named Burnsville in honor of Captain <a href="/wiki/Otway_Burns" title="Otway Burns">Otway Burns</a>, who voted for the creation of the new western county when he was serving in the General Assembly. He was also a naval hero in the <a href="/wiki/War_of_1812" title="War of 1812">War of 1812</a>. A statue of Captain Burns stands on a 40-ton, Mount Airy granite pedestal in the center of the town's public square, which was given the official name of "Bailey Square" by the Yancey County Board of Commissioners on September 1, 1930. The statue of Captain Burns was given to the county on July 5, 1909, by Walter Francis Burns, a grandson of the naval captain. The inscription reads: </p> <blockquote><p>Otway Burns - Born in Onslow County, North Carolina, 1777 - Died at Portsmouth, North Carolina, 1850. Sailor - Soldier - Statesman. North Carolina's Foremost Son in the War of 1812-1815 - For Him, This Town Is Named - He Guarded Well Our Seas, Let Our Mountains Honor Him. </p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yancey_County,_North_Carolina&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-kartographer-container thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 300px;"><a class="mw-kartographer-map notheme" style="width: 300px; height: 200px;" data-mw-kartographer="mapframe" data-style="osm-intl" data-width="300" data-height="200" data-zoom="8" data-lat="35.9" data-lon="-82.31" data-overlays="["_26ada1dd5e07cf5a3893d64e4af00656e75c1168"]" href="/wiki/Special:Map/8/35.9/-82.31/en"><img src="https://maps.wikimedia.org/img/osm-intl,8,35.9,-82.31,300x200.png?lang=en&domain=en.wikipedia.org&title=Yancey_County%2C_North_Carolina&revid=1254767520&groups=_26ada1dd5e07cf5a3893d64e4af00656e75c1168" width="300" height="200" decoding="async" srcset="https://maps.wikimedia.org/img/osm-intl,8,35.9,-82.31,300x200@2x.png?lang=en&domain=en.wikipedia.org&title=Yancey_County%2C_North_Carolina&revid=1254767520&groups=_26ada1dd5e07cf5a3893d64e4af00656e75c1168 2x" alt="Map" /></a><div class="thumbcaption">Interactive map of Yancey County</div></div></div> <p>According to the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Census_Bureau" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Census Bureau">U.S. Census Bureau</a>, the county has a total area of 313.18 square miles (811.1 km<sup>2</sup>), of which 312.59 square miles (809.6 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and 0.59 square miles (1.5 km<sup>2</sup>) (0.19%) is water.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Mount_Mitchell" title="Mount Mitchell">Mount Mitchell</a> at 6,684 feet (2,037 m), within <a href="/wiki/Mount_Mitchell_State_Park" title="Mount Mitchell State Park">Mount Mitchell State Park</a> in Yancey County, is the highest point in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> east of the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi River</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Mt._Mitchell_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mt._Mitchell-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Black_Mountains_(North_Carolina)" title="Black Mountains (North Carolina)">Black Mountains</a>, of which Mt.
