Bedford County, located in the great state of Tennessee, was established in 1807 and is named after Thomas Bedford, an early settler, and friend to American president, Thomas Jefferson. The county is situated in the south-central part of the state and is part of Tennessee's Highland Rim, which is characterized by fertile land and rolling hills. The county seat, Shelbyville, is known as the "Walking Horse Capital of the World."

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Bedford County was largely an agricultural region, growing crops like corn and tobacco, and raising livestock such as cattle and hogs. Many of the early settlers were of English, Irish, and Scottish descent, who brought their customs and traditions with them.

In the early 1800s, the presence of fertile land attracted many settlers, including Revolutionary War veteran Colonel Benjamin Bradford, who established a large plantation and built a beautiful Federal-style home. This house, now known as the Promise Land Site, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and can be visited by tourists.

During the Civil War, Bedford County was the site of a skirmish in 1863, known as the "Battle of Shelbyville," in which Confederate troops sought to halt the advance of Union forces toward Chattanooga.

A fun fact about Bedford County is it being the home to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, an eleven-day event held annually since 1939 to celebrate the Tennessee Walking Horse, a breed known for its unique running walk. This world-renowned event draws visitors from across the globe, highlighting the equestrian culture and charm of the region.
