Sequatchie County, TN Courthouse - Dunlap, TN
Sequatchie County was created on December 9, 1857 from a portion of Hamilton County, or rather that which formerly was a part of Bledsoe and Marion Counties.  It was named for the Sequatchie Valley, which in turn had been named for the Cherokee chief, Sequachee, who signed a treaty with the colonial government of South Carolina. The word sequachee in Cherokee means, &quot;opossum&quot; or &quot;he grins or runs.&quot;  Settlers began arriving in what is now Sequatchie by the early 19th century, drawn to the area by the fertile land in the valley.

The Sequatchie County Courthouse, located in Dunlap, TN, was built in 1911 by Architect &amp; Contractor W.K. Brown &amp; Brothers.  The Sequatchie County Courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 1980.

&quot;For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot;  ~Jeremiah 29:11
