Overton County, County in Tennessee, United States.
Overton County is an administrative county in eastern Tennessee covering about 435 square miles. The landscape is shaped by narrow valleys and the backwaters of Dale Hollow Lake in the northern part.
The county was established in 1806 and named after John Overton, a prominent landowner of that era. It was carved from territories that previously belonged to White County.
The area maintains its connection to Appalachian heritage through local events featuring traditional music, regional crafts, and mountain storytelling.
Livingston serves as the administrative center offering services like property records, vehicle registration, and court proceedings. The area is best visited during warmer months when local roads are most accessible.
A devastating F4 tornado struck the Beatty Swamps area in 1933, destroying every structure in its path. The storm claimed 33 lives and remains a significant event in local memory.
