Nantahala Township is located in North Carolina, United States in the part of Macon County which is west of Wayah Gap. It has a population of 1,711. Nantahala was a Cherokee Valley Town whose name typically translated as "The sun between them", from the Cherokee ᏅᏓ and ᎠᏰᎵ. Another translation is "land of the noonday sun", referring to the depth of the gorge. The Nantahala valley was an important crossroads in the heart of Cherokee country, connecting the Valley Towns to the south and the Middle and Out Towns to the north.
