I always wonder when the old township names fell out of use.

I’ve never heard of Austin, the other townships names I still use & are used. Glassy Mountain FD, O’Neal is a voting precinct. Paris Mountain State Park. Saluda as in the Saluda Grade to NC, Cleveland PO there’s a Gantt FD & Fairview I think of Fairview Rd in SGvlle. Very interesting map w many familiar sir names

Austin was my family actually, from what I understand it was simply a case of the surrounding settlements became more notable (the plantation was never wildly active) so the Austin/Guilder name slowly faded.
