Unicoi County


Unicol County was formed during the Reconstruction era from parts of Washington and Carter counties on March 23, 1875. Representative Alfred A. Taylor introduced a bill in the Tennessee Legislature and insisted that the county's name come from a Cherokee word representing the fog~draped Unaka Mountains. The first meeting for the elected officials was January 3, 1876, at the Indian Creek Bastist Church. For the Centennial in 1975, the motto on the new seal of Unicoi County was The Valley Beautiful.
