What is a former name for the river on which Guntersville, Alabama was founded?
Tennessee River The Tennessee River is the largest tributary of the Ohio River. It is approximately 652 mi long and is located in the southeastern United States in the Tennessee Valley. The river was once popularly known as the Cherokee River, among other names, as many of the Cherokee had their territory along its banks, especially in eastern Tennessee and northern Alabama. Its current name is derived from the Cherokee village "Tanasi".
Haw River The Haw River is a tributary of the Cape Fear River, approximately 110 mi (177 km) long, that is entirely contained in north central North Carolina in the United States. It was first documented as the "Hau River" by John Lawson, an English botanist, in his 1709 book "A New Voyage to Carolina." The name is shortened from Saxapahaw, from the Catawban "/sak'yápha:/", "piedmont, foothill", from "/sak/", "hill", plus "/yápha:/", "step". The river gives its name to a small town that formed on its banks.
