History
[
edit
]
Jefferson County was established on June 11, 1792, by
William Blount
, Governor of the
Southwest Territory
.
[5]
It had been a part of Caswell County during the
State of Franklin
period (1784–1789). Its county seat, Dandridge, was settled in 1783.
[5]
On the eve of the
Civil War
, Jefferson County, like most other counties in mountainous
East Tennessee
, was opposed to secession. In Tennessee's Ordinance of Secession referendum on June 8, 1861, Jefferson County voters rejected secession by a margin of 1,987 to 603.
[6]
A railroad bridge at
Strawberry Plains
was among those targeted by the
East Tennessee bridge-burning conspiracy
in November 1861.
[7]
This led to internal conflict in the area throughout the war, with men from the county enlisting in both of the rival armies.
