History Timeline[edit | edit source]

  • 1784-1788 - The land of Jefferson County was first organized by the State of Franklin in March 1786 from part of Greene County under the name Caswell[7] However, the Franklin statehood effort faded by 1789. Caswell county existed only briefly, its legality is questionable, and little trace remains. The records of lost Caswell County are now found at ???[8]
    In the 1780s, this county's land fell within the bounds of the State of Franklin
  • 1789 - North Carolina ceded its westernmost counties to the United States which used them to form the Southwest Territory. North Carolina and the Southwest Territory did not recognize Franklin's Caswell County or Sevier County.
  • 1789 - Residents South of the French Broad (which included Jefferson County) petitioned North Carolina for relief from the Indian problems. This petition contains names of some Jefferson County residents.
  • 1792 - Southwest Territory using land from its Greene and Hawkins counties erected a new county on much of the old Caswell County land, and named it Jefferson County.[9]
  • 1794 - Sevier County was reconstituted by the Southwest Territory from part of Jefferson County.
  • 1796 - All these lands became part of the new State of Tennessee
  • 1797 - Tennessee divided off Cocke County from the southeast part of Jefferson County. In 1870 Tennessee used part of Jefferson County to form part of Hamblen County.[8]
