The South Toe River ( the name Toe is taken from its original name Estatoe, pronounced 'S - ta - toe', a native American name is associated with the Estatoe trade route leading down from the NC mountains through Brevard where there is a historical plaque with information that affirms the route, on into South Carolina where a village of the same name was located), is a river in Yancey County in Western North Carolina. Over the years due to difficulty in pronouncing the name it was shortened to Toe.
