History
East Tennessee county established in 1836. Originally part of the pioneer Watauga Settlements, from 1784 to 1788, this land was claimed by the abortive, short-lived State of Franklin.

The county is named after "Thomas Johnson an early settler of Carter County along the Doe River."

Johnson County was created in 1836 from part of Carter County. However, the land on which Johnson County was located was also part of older Washington County, North Carolina, and Wayne (old) County in the State of Franklin. Wayne (old) County was created as part of the abortive, short-lived State of Franklin in March 1786.). It was created out of northeastern Washington County (organized by North Carolina in 1777). It was named for "Mad" Anthony Wayne of the American War for Independence. The Franklin statehood effort collapsed by 1789. This county existed only briefly, its legality is questionable, and little trace remains.

The records of Wayne (old) County are now found at Family Search and Tennessee County Facts

In 1796 the first county created by the new State of Tennessee was the reconstituted Wayne (old) County, only under the name of Carter County. In 1836 the northeast part of Carter County was divided off as Johnson County. The land on which the lost county of Wayne (old) was located is now part of Johnson and Carter counties in Tennessee.
