Troublesome Creek was the location of Native American activity (Cheraw Indians)[5] in the Middle Archaic period and may have been the location of the first European settlement in Rockingham County, North Carolina.[6] The watershed was the site of the Troublesome Creek Iron Works, also known as Speedwell Furnace. Established in 1770, it is considered one of the earliest colonial ironworks.[7] General Nathaniel Greene also camped here during the Guilford Courthouse campaign in 1781.[8] President George Washington also later visited the ironworks in 1791.[8]
Courseedit
Troublesome Creek rises in the City of Stokesdale in Guilford County on the divide between Troublesome Creek and Belews Creek (Dan River). Troublesome Creek then flows northeast into Rockingham County and then southeast to meet the Haw River about 5 miles south of Reidsville, North Carolina.[2] Lake Reidsville is an impoundment of this stream.
