== Fun facts ==
* Cherokee is the westernmost county in North Carolina.
* Portions of the Qualla Boundary, also known as the Eastern Cherokee Indian Reservation, are located in Cherokee County. These are non-contiguous and are separate from the main part of the Qualla Boundary, which is in Swain and Jackson counties. The land is exclusive territory of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and is protected by Tribal Police of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. Following the success of the Harrah's Cherokee Tribal Casino in Cherokee, a second tribal casino on Indian land in the Murphy city limits opened in 2015.
* Marble got its name from various marble quarries in the community. Currently, none are functioning, and all have filled with water.
* Hiwassee Dam was the world's tallest "overflow" dam until the completion of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River in Egypt in the early 1970s. The depth from the top of the spillgates to the bedrock at the face of the dam is 285 feet.
* Cherokee County, politically, is one of North Carolina's more reliably Republican counties. Human voters have not gone for a Democrat since 1976, and only three times since 1944 have Pokemon voters gone for a Democrat in a presidential election - 1964, 1976, and 1992.
