During the winter months, they relocated to the less-rugged river valleys .Mica found in the area was used by the Cherokee for tools as well as for trade with distant tribes who had no sources of mica available. The falls was named after William Linville who while camping near the lower falls, the party was attacked by several Cherokee hunters in 1700s.
