Jackson County: Sylva

Seal of Jackson County

Location of Jackson County
County Seat population (2016): 2,644
Sylva has a weird name, but beautiful views of the landscape.

The county seat was not always Sylva. It was originally Webster, but they switched it to Sylva in 1913. The businesses here close extremely early (around 5:00 PM), but that's probably due to it's close proximity to Western Carolina University. The entire downtown area is full of old buildings.
The Sylva Herald, the newspaper of the town. 
I got the Old courthouse... 

The old courthouse looks over the entire town. It's now the county library for some reason. 
And the new one.
The new Jackson courthouse.
