Abstract: The purpose of this study of the Cranberry ore belt was made to learn more about the findings of previous investigations; to examine the results of testings done on the magnetite from the Cranberry area; to study more carefully the available land grants, charters, deeds, and personal papers connected with the operation; to review the operation of the iron production of the region from colonial days until cessation of operations in 1930; to explore information of the expanse of the ore deposits prevalent; and, to record some of the personal knowledge about the Cranberry ore belt known only to those elderly persons yet living who helped to make this interesting chapter in the history of western North Carolina and east Tennessee.
