Overton County, County in Tennessee, United States.
Overton County extends across 435 square miles of Tennessee land, featuring narrow creek valleys and the backwaters of Dale Hollow Lake in its northern section.
The county received its name from John Overton and was officially established in September 1806, carved from territories that previously belonged to White County.
The county maintains its connection to Appalachian traditions through local events that showcase traditional music, regional crafts, and mountain storytelling patterns.
Livingston, the county seat, functions as the central location for government services, including property records, motor vehicle registration, and court proceedings.
A devastating F4 tornado measuring half a mile wide struck Beatty Swamps in 1933, destroying every building and claiming 33 lives.
