== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Chatham County tends to lean more Democrat-voting than most rural white-majority North Carolina areas.
* Jordan Lake takes up a decent part of eastern Chatham County, and is a popular recreational destination.
* Charlie Daniels once resided in Gulf.
* On March 25, 2010, the Chatham County Courthouse, built in 1881 in Pittsboro, caught fire while undergoing renovations. It has now been rebuilt.
* The Fearrington House Country Inn is one of only two AAA five-diamond facilities in the state, earning the Five Diamond designation 15 years in a row, more times than any other accommodation in the Carolinas. The Inn is also North Carolina's only five-star hotel, according to Mobil Travel Guide's annual rankings.
* Spanning the southern border of Chatham County, the Deep River Coal Field contains the only known potentially economic bituminous coal deposits in the state. Coal was mined here on an artisan scale in colonial times. It was commercially produced beginning from the early 1850s.
** The communities of Carbonton and Cumnock (formerly called Egypt in Lee County) developed with the coal mining industry. Much of the coal mined in the field during the Civil War was used for Confederate operations.
** The Coal Glen Mine Disaster of the 1920s, frequent flooding by the Deep River, the depth of the coal seam, and faulting of the seam sealed the fate of the mines. Production ceased in 1953.
