Johnson County, Tennessee

Post by Will Williams » Wed Jan 04, 2023 7:22 pm

I'd noticed a while back that there is a topic somewhere here on WB for Hillsboro, WV, where our National Alliance was headquartered from 1985 -- after 15 years in Arlington, VA. The National Office is now in Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee, an unincorporated community about six miles north of the county seat in Mountain City, and an equal distance from Damascus, Virginia, through the National Forest, near the Appalachian Trail.

Steve Earle sings Copperhead Road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oMsif1xHUg

Some say it is Johnson County's anthem. They had to change the name of Copperhead Road because folks kept stealing the road sign. :lol:

History of Johnson County
In 1761, Daniel Boone came through the area that is now Johnson County. There were two early settlements in the area in the late 1760’s and the 1770’s. One settlement was known as “The Trade Gap”, which was a trading post for Indians and traders, in the south east side of the county. This community is now known as Trade. The other early settlement was on Roane Creek, near the confluence with the Watauga River. Other settlements were made soon after further up Roane Creek and on Little Doe.

The organization of Johnson County took place in 1836 and was named for Thomas Johnson, a leading citizen of Carter County and an early settler on the Doe River. Johnson County was created from parts of Carter County, because of the long distance to travel to the county seat in Elizabethton. The first session of the county court was begun and held at the Pleasant Grove School House on May 2, 1836. In October of 1836, the county commissioners were given authority to contract for the building of a court house. It took about a year to complete the structure. Two years later the jail was completed.

In 1836, the county seat was originally named Taylorsville in honor of Colonel James Taylor. The name was changed to Mountain City in the 1885, to reflect it being in one of the highest valleys in Tennessee. Because the county was so remote, the railroads did not reach the area until the early 1900’s. The arrival of the railroads greatly influenced the development of the timber and manganese mining industries.

Johnson County, Tennessee has a wonderful Arts Center that I've had the pleasure of supporting and participating in a couple of its exhibits. I attended this show a couple of days ago:

Like all programs that receive any state or federal funds, the Johnson County Arts Center has to announce the requisite promise not to discriminate (recognize differences) among people). :roll:
We follow the Tennessee Arts Commission's Nondiscrimination Policy:
No person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, religion, or sex shall be excluded from participation in, or be denied benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination of services, programs, and employment provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission and its contracting agencies.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on a person’s race, color, or national origin. All Tennessee Arts Commission grantees are subject to compliance with this and other applicable federal laws.
The Serpentine Chain: New Works by Cristy Dunn Opens Friday, August 4
Sharyn McCrumb writes eloquently about our relationship to the land here in Appalachia and the cultural and geological connections between the mountains here and the mountains in Scotland and Ireland. This collection of work is inspired by these writings, and some of the paintings will be part of a new coffee table book written by Sharyn McCrumb and illustrated by Cristy.

Nice quote by Sharyn about our Scots Irish bloodline and lovely representational paintings by Christy, Director of Johnson County's Center for the Arts. I'll be sure to purchase a copy of this book, signed by the author and the artist.

One of the things I like most about Johnson County, where our National Alliance National Office and Cosmotheist Community are located, is our racial demographics: almost all-White. An exceptional location for young White men to meet and court nice Upper East Tennessee White girls. :D

As a California native and current resident, seeing a sports team not full of diversity is a great sight.
