Cataloochee

… community on Cataloochee Creek in W Haywood County. Now almost entirely in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Alt. 2,620. Population formerly around 250. Cataloochee is a corruption of the Indian word gad-a-lu-sti, a descriptive exclamation that means "standing in a row." It is what the Indians saw from Cove Creek Gap—timber standing up on the distant mountains near the head of the watershed.
