This General Assembly met in Fayetteville from November 1st to December 15th in 1790. During 1789, the NC Legislature created Stokes County. In 1790, Stokes County sent its first delegates to the NC General Assembly. Also during 1789, North Carolina ceded seven (7) counties on the western side of the Appalacian Mountains to the newly-established "Southwest Territory," which later became the state of Tennessee in 1796: Davidson, Greene, Hawkins, Sullivan, Sumner, Tennessee, and Washington. These seven counties no longer sent delegates to the NC General Assembly. |
