Do you know of Hominy Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Hominy Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Hominy Creek.<1>

Our sources for Hominy Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Hominy Creek other than they indicate that Hominy Creek would be found somewhere in Buncombe County, North Carolina.
