History[edit | edit source]

[[Image:
Governor John Sevier(1745-1815)
]]
In the 1780s, this county's land fell within the bounds of the State of Franklin

East Tennessee county in the Great Smoky Mountains region. Established 1794. From 1784 to 1788, this land was claimed by the abortive, and short-lived State of Franklin. Existed, governing itself, from 1788  until it was formed as part of Jefferson County in 1791.

Sevier County is named after Revolutionary War General Gov. John Sevier (1745-1815).[4]

North Carolina first organized the land that would eventually become Sevier County as part of Washington District in 1776, then as part of Washington County in 1777, and then as part of Greene County in 1783.

In August 1784 delegates of three western North Carolina counties, Washington, Sullivan, and Greene (all now in Tennessee), declared their Independence from North Carolina because of perceived neglect, and misuse by North Carolina’s legislature. By May 1785 they had petitioned to be admitted to the United States as the new State of Franklin. The Franklin statehood request was denied.[5] In March 1786 the Franklin legislature created several new counties including Sevier (all in present-day Tennessee).[6] By 1789 Franklin's hopes of statehood had faded.

However, in 1789 North Carolina ratified the Constitution, was admitted to the union, and ceded her westernmost counties to the United States. The United States used them to form the Southwest Territory. The new counties created by the Franklin government were not recognized by North Carolina, the Southwest Territory, or by Tennessee. When they were reconstituted, no mention was made of their Franklin predecessor county governments. The Southwest Territory reconstituted Sevier County in 1794 from part of Jefferson County.[7]

In 1796 the land of all these counties became part of the new State of Tennessee.

Parent County[edit | edit source]

1794--Sevier County was established 28 September 1794 from Jefferson County. Early records may be found under Jefferson County.
County seat: Sevierville [8]
