Welcome to Scott County, TN!

Description

Scott County was established in 1849 from portions of Fentress, Morgan, and Campbell Counties. It was named in honor of General Winfield Scott, a veteran of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, who served as the Chief of Staff for the Army and as an advisor to the President. The earliest known settlers came to Scott County in 1786 and settled along the New River and its tributaries. The mild climate, abundant rainfall, and prime agricultural land attracted settlers to stay.

Scott County is located in northeastern Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau in the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in a rugged and scenic region. The eastern portion of Scott County contains the Appalachian Mountains and the western part contains the Big South Fork Cumberland River Gorge. Scott County is approximately 65 miles northwest of Knoxville, approximately 175 miles northeast of Nashville, and approximately 120 miles south of Lexington, KY. Scott County consists of 348,160 acres of land. It is bordered on the north by Kentucky, to the east by Campbell County, to the east southeast by Anderson County, to the south by Morgan County, and to the west by Fentress County.
