Lincoln County, County administration center in southern Tennessee, US.
Lincoln County is a rural administrative area in southern Tennessee with rolling terrain, farmland, and Fayetteville as its administrative center. The landscape consists of open fields, woodlands, and small communities spread throughout the territory.
The county was founded in 1809 from lands that had been part of Bedford County, following an 1806 land agreement with the Cherokee and Chickasaw nations. This establishment represented early European settlement in this part of Tennessee.
The county fair features harness horse racing, agricultural displays, and local entertainment that draw visitors throughout the year. These events show how rural traditions and community gatherings remain central to life here.
The area is best explored by car, with Fayetteville as the central arrival point and the rural roads connecting main communities. Travel between locations is straightforward, though distances between towns require planning for visits.
This region was where the Lincoln County Process for Tennessee whiskey production originated before operations relocated to Moore County. Many visitors overlook this connection to whiskey-making history, even though it played a role in shaping regional traditions.
