Anson
County was formed from Bladen County, N. C. in 1750. The first
permanent
settlement was in 1653 in N. C. by settlers coming from
Virginia.
The population reached 14,000 by 1733. Highland Scotch
immigrants
settled mostly in the south east section of the state. Later
large
groups of Scotch Irish came from Pennsylvania and settled in
western
part of the state.
