Worry is an unincorporated community in Burke County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. [1]
History
Worry was so named by its citizens who were worried after postal authorities had rejected their first choices for a town name. [2] A post office was established as Worry in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1944. [3]
