The first settlers entered the Sequatchie Valley in the late 1700s through Bledsoe County, named for Anthony Bledsoe, a Revolutionary War patriot who migrated to Tennessee from Virginia and was later killed in an Indian attack. With stories of family feuds, moonshine wars, and Civil War conflict, the area’s rich history resulted in the nickname “Bloody Bledsoe” a century ago. Today, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, friendly people, and unique landscapes you will encounter.
