About
Lincoln County
Lincoln County was carved from territory ceded to the United States
by the Cherokee and Chickasaw Indian tribes. The Elk River, called
"Chewalee" by the Indians, flows through Lincoln County.
Legislation established our county during their session on November
14, 1809 to become effective January 1, 1810. Lincoln County was
named for Revolutionary War hero General Benjamin Lincoln. The
Tennessee state legislature appropriated funds to purchase 100
acres of land for the county seat from Mr. Ezekiel Norris for
$100.00.
