History

From 1838 to 1839, nearly 17,000 Cherokees were forced to march from "emigration depots" in Eastern Tennessee, such as Fort Cass, to Indian Territory west of Arkansas. Elizabethton is also the historical site of the first independent Human settlement on American soil (1772) and located west of both the Eastern Continental Divide and the original thirteen British colonization of the Americas colonies in America.

The area now known as Tennessee was first settled by Paleo-Indians nearly 11,000 years ago. Elizabethton is the county seat of Carter County, Tennessee County, Tennessee, United States. When Conquistador explorers first visited Tennessee, led by Hernando de Soto (explorer) de Soto in 1539–43, it was inhabited by tribes of Creek people and Yuchi people. As European colonists spread into the area, the native populations were forcibly displaced to the south and west, including all Muscogee and Yuchi peoples, the Chickasaw, and Choctaw.
