History

Possibly because of European diseases devastating the Native tribes, which would have left a population vacuum, and also from expanding European settlement in the north, the Cherokee moved south from the area now called Virginia. 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. 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. The names of the cultural groups that inhabited the area between first settlement and the time of European contact are unknown, but several distinct cultural phases have been named by archaeologists, including Archaic period Woodland period and Mississippian culture whose chiefdoms were the cultural predecessors of the Creek people people who inhabited the Tennessee River Valley prior to Cherokee migration into the river's headwaters. Elizabethton is the county seat of Carter County, Tennessee County, Tennessee, United States.
