Property Map
Junaluska Map by Decade
This map shows the progression of home ownership in the neighborhood (Junaluska and the larger surrounding area), with some of these parcels actually pre-dating the community's name, "Junaluska." According to Sandra Hagler, a longtime resident and member of the Junaluska Heritage Association, “For years it was just known as ‘the hill' or ‘the black section.' I think it would be back in the '70s or '80s when the town started calling it that.” Some suggest the neighborhood gets its current name from its main street—named Junaluska. The Boone Mennonite Brethren Church thus became part of the "Junaluska" community at this time.

Rev. Ronda Horton
Church Leaders
Horton attended school at the Salem Mennonite Mission Church and Orphanage even though he was not an orphan. The influence of the Mennonite missionaries had a great influence on him as a child, and in 1935, he became the minister of the Boone Mennonite Brethren Church, where he served until his death in 1986 at the age of 96. In addition to his service to the Boone Church, he also was elected moderator of the six Mennonite Brethren churches that make up the North Carolina District Conference. His strong spirituality and dedication to the church and Junaluska community earned him the title of “Moses of the Mountain.”
