White County, County seat in Middle Tennessee, United States.
White County stretches across the Highland Rim region with the Calfkiller River flowing through its capital city of Sparta, creating natural geographical boundaries.
The Tennessee State Legislature considered making Sparta the state capital in the early 1800s, with Nashville winning the final vote by a single ballot.
The county maintains strong connections to bluegrass music through local musicians, including the influential performer Lester Flatt who originated from this area.
The Sparta Rock House, constructed in the 1830s, stands as a state historic site and remains open for visitors interested in regional architecture.
Seven different locations within Sparta have earned places on the National Register of Historic Places, marking their significance in American heritage.
