The following is a list of books and other resources I have found that contain genealogical or historical information relating to the old Tryon County region of North and South Carolina. Tryon County existed as a North Carolina county from 1768 to 1779. It was formed from Mecklenburg County, NC in 1768, and was previously part of Anson County, NC before Mecklenburg County was formed from Anson County in 1762.
In 1772 when the state line was surveyed between North and South Carolina, much of what was thought to have been Tryon County was found to be in South Carolina. So the original Tryon County included all or part of a number of South Carolina Counties including present day York, Cherokee, and Spartanburg Counties. In 1779 what remained of Tryon County in North Carolina was abolished and split into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties. In 1841 Cleveland County was formed from parts of Lincoln and Rutherford Counties. And in 1846 Gaston County was formed from Lincoln County.
See the following for additional information on the old Tryon County region:
