Sumner County, Tennessee, was founded in 1786, named in honor of General Jethro Sumner, an American Revolutionary War hero. The county was established as part of North Carolina before becoming part of Tennessee when the state was admitted to the Union in 1796. Situated in the north-central region of the state, Sumner County is bordered by the Cumberland River to the south and the state of Kentucky to the north.

In its early years, the region was inhabited by Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee, Shawnee, and Chickasaw. European settlers, mainly of Scotch-Irish, English, and German descent, began arriving in the mid-1770s. The area was well-suited for agriculture, which played a significant role in the county's development. The combination of fertile soil and the Cumberland River made it ideal for growing crops such as tobacco and later, cotton, which supported its economy.

As the county expanded, several towns and cities were established, including its current county seat, Gallatin, which was founded in 1802. Other notable towns include Hendersonville, Portland, and Westmoreland. During the Civil War, Sumner County saw battles and skirmishes, including the Battle of Hartsville in 1862.

Throughout its history, Sumner County has maintained its agricultural roots, but it has also experienced growth in other sectors, such as manufacturing, retail, and education. Today, the county is appreciated for its rich history, beautiful landscapes, and strong sense of community.

Fun fact: Sumner County is home to the historic Cragfont State Historic Site, a preserved mansion built by General James Winchester. Completed in 1802, Cragfont is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in Tennessee, offering visitors an opportunity to step back in time and learn more about the region's history.
