#Catawba August 30

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

For the month of August 2024 several of us are going to take on a 30-Day County Coach4aday Challenge. The simple concept is to share a fact about a county in the US. My focus is going to be on North Carolina, and today I am selecting CATAWBA County.

The lands occupying Catawba County today were carved out from Lincoln County in 1842. Catawba County was once occupied by several tribes of the Catawba Nation.

A map outlining the county is shown below in red.

County 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.

1. Each day in August learn something about a county in the United States
2. Share that fact along with where it is located with others
3. If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms
