Visitor Information & Services
Visitor Information & Services
The name Melungeon refers to a
people of mixed descent who, according
to one theory, are descendants of early
Spanish and Portuguese explorers
who madesettlements in Georgia and
the Carolinas prior to the historic
Jamestown establishments of 1567
or 1607. Genetic studies give rise to the belief that the
Melungeons were originally from northwest Africa who, known
as Moors, moved into Spain and Portugal around 710 A.D.
Exiled during the Spanish Inquisition, these people may have
come to the New World in the 16th Century. Subsequent
generations, apparently unaccepted legally or socially by their
new country, retreated to the mountains where today some 500
Melungeon descendants still live where their ancestors settled
in Northeast Tennessee and extreme Southwest Virginia.
Newman’s Ridge is one of the most famous of Melungeon
territories. Visit the Vardy Community to learn more about the
mystery of the Melungeons.
