The Town of Walnut Cove was
officially chartered on February 25,
1889, but was a settlement long before
it officially became a town.
Mr. and Mrs. William Lash of
the Moravian Settlement at
Bethania bought land around
1830 along the Town Fork Creek,
and as it was passed down to their
children, it developed into a large
plantation which was named Walnut
Cove, supposedly from the sheltered
coves of the meandering Town Fork
Creek and the walnut trees that grew
abundantly in the area.

Later, a general store was built, and the area was commonly known as Lash's
Store. A windmill was erected to pump water for the plantation (hence, Windmill
Street). Along Main Street, the Lash family built an office, a general store, a
grist mill, a livery stable, a blacksmith shop, and (reportedly) a bar. The family
built four homes along what is now known as Summit Street. One of these
homes still remains today.
