Jefferson County, Administrative division in eastern Tennessee, United States
Jefferson County spans 314 square miles of land and water, containing two artificial lakes: Douglas Lake and Cherokee Lake in Tennessee.
Governor William Blount established Jefferson County on June 11, 1792, after separating it from the former Caswell County of the State of Franklin.
Prior to the Civil War in 1861, Jefferson County residents demonstrated their union allegiance through a significant vote of 1,987 against secession versus 603 in favor.
The county maintains three early voting locations: New Market City Hall, White Pine EMS Building, and the Election Commission office in Dandridge.
Jefferson County forms part of both the Morristown Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Knoxville-Morristown-Sevierville Combined Statistical Area.
