Fentress County is located in the northeastern part of Tennessee, in the Cumberland Plateau region. Established on November 28, 1823, the county was named in honor of James Fentress, who was an influential Tennessee state legislator at the time. The county seat, Jamestown, was named after Fentress by his fellow legislators.

The area that would become Fentress County was initially inhabited by Native Americans, particularly the Cherokee people. European-American settlers began to arrive in the late 1700s, and an influx in population led to the establishment of the county in the early 1800s. The region's natural resources, such as timber and coal, played a significant role in the county's early economy, with logging and mining being primary industries. As the nation industrialized, agriculture and commerce also became important sources of income.

One notable historical event in Fentress County's history was the establishment of the Alvin C. York Institute in Jamestown in 1926. Funded by Sergeant Alvin C. York, a World War I hero and Tennessee native, the institute served as a high school with a strong focus on vocational training. Today, it still operates as a public high school, offering a comprehensive curriculum for students in the area.

A fun fact about Fentress County is that it is home to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a vast and scenic expanse covering 125,000 acres across Tennessee and Kentucky. Established in 1974, the area offers a diverse range of recreational activities, such as hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, mountain biking, and camping. Furthermore, it is known for the picturesque Twin Arches, a massive natural sandstone double arch formation that is one of the largest and most impressive in the eastern United States.
