==History==
These mountains are considered to be the oldest on the North American Continent. Evidence of early Indians dates back over 12,000 years. The Catawba Indians inhabited the area when the Europeans began exploring the region in the late 1600s. By 1760 settlement had begun in earnest, opened up by the explorers and traders along the Ocaneechi Trail.〔
The Birkhead family raised a son, John Watson (Watt), who was born in 1858. The that he acquired over the years were made up of many small tenant farms. Thus the mountain range became known locally as the ''Birkhead Mountains''.〔
This old plantation is the core of the Wilderness. Evidence of early Indians and settlers can often be found. These archeological and historic artifacts and sites hold clues to America's past. If disturbed, a part of our heritage is lost forever. Federal law protects such sites and artifacts on public land. If you discover such remains please leave them undisturbed.〔
