Cherokee County, Texas
.Cherokee County, located in the northeastern part of Texas, was created as one of the original 23 counties of the Republic of Texas in 1846. The county's name is derived from the Cherokee Indians who had settled in the region before its establishment. Rusk, the county seat, was named after Thomas Jefferson Rusk, a prominent figure in the Texas Revolution and a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
Before European settlers arrived, the area was inhabited by Caddo Native Americans, followed by the Cherokees, who settled there in the early 19th century. Various treaties and confrontations occurred between the tribes and pioneers, ultimately resulting in the Cherokee being removed from the area, following the Battle of the Neches in 1839, which was led by the then President of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar.
The region was mainly agricultural with cotton production playing a significant role in the economy during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The arrival of the railroad in 1872 helped shaped the development of cities and towns, with significant settlements including Jacksonville, Alto, and New Summerfield.
Mining also contributed to the county's economic development, with coal and iron ore being discovered in the 1880s. While mining has since declined, agriculture and timber production remain important. More recently, in the 21st century, Cherokee County has continued to experience population growth and economic expansion.
