History Timeline
Additional Information

The county is named after Landon Carter (1710-1778), Speaker of the State of Franklin senate.

The land of Carter County was first organized by the State of Franklin in March 1786 from part of Washington County under the name Wayne (old). Wayne seems to have included at least the present area of Carter and Johnson Counties. However, the Franklin statehood effort collapsed by 1789. Wayne (old) County existed only briefly, its legality is questionable, and little trace remains. It was not recognized by the subsequent North Carolina, Southwest Territory, or Tennessee governments.

In 1796 the first county reconstituted by the new State of Tennessee was Franklin's Wayne (old) County, only it was called Carter County. Now the land on which the lost county of Wayne (old) County was located is known as Carter County and Johnson.

East Tennessee county established in 1796. Originally part of the pioneer Watauga Settlements, from 1785 to 1789, this land was also claimed by the abortive, short-lived State of Franklin.
