Cashiers (/ˈkæʃərz/ KASH-ərz)[5] is a census-designated place (CDP) and unincorporated village located in southern Jackson County, North Carolina, United States.
[7] Cashiers is pronounced KASH-erz locally, and is one of several communities in the area popular with tourists and owners of vacation homes.
[8] The village is at the crossroads of U.S. Route 64 (US 64) and North Carolina Highway 107 (NC 107), which connects to Highlands, Rosman, Sylva, and Walhalla.
The establishment of Cashiers began with two men: Barak Norton, the first white settler in Whiteside Cove and Colonel John Zachary, who with his talented sons was responsible for the area's economic and civic development.
However, it has been concluded that the Zachary Family came up with the name related to their accounting work for individual gold miners in the area, being the "cashier".
According to the United States Census Bureau, the community has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2), all land.
Cashiers is surrounded by scenic views, waterfalls, and Nantahala National Forest land.
Visitors and vacation home owners from all over the southeast enjoy hiking, mountain biking, golf, and fly fishing during the warm months of the year.
