Welcome to Roane County.
Created by an act in 1801, the county
is located in the Tennessee Valley, at the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau.
The county seat of Kingston also served as the capital of Tennessee for one day
back in 1807. The land that is now Roane County was opened up to westward
expansion by such forts as
Fort Southwest Point in 1790 at
Kingston. This brought the first settlers to the area in 1794. Four major towns and a host of smaller communities
make up Roane County. Cardiff,
Glen Alice,
Harriman, Kingston
(County Seat), Oliver Springs,
Post Oak,
Rockwood, &
Wheat. In 1801
Knox County was
partitioned to form Roane and
Anderson Counties.
