About Fayetteville, Tennessee

Fayetteville is a city of 7,068 people and the seat of Lincoln County, on the Elk River. The Cherokee and Chickasaw ceded this land to the United States in 1806. That spring James Bright led a surveying party across the spot and found thick cane, Indian trails and a bed of mussel and periwinkle shells, a sign that a village had once stood nearby.

An act of the Tennessee General Assembly in 1809 set up the town, and the act took effect on January 1, 1810. Until a courthouse was ready, the county court met at the house of Brice M. Garner. Ezekiel Norris, the earliest white settler, provided the land, and commissioners laid off lots that sold in 1810. Settlers who had come from Fayetteville, North Carolina, gave the new town that city's name, which honored the Marquis de Lafayette.

  • The Old Stone BridgeArchitects and contractors John Markum and Patrick Flannery started a stone bridge over the Elk in 1860. It had six arches and was finished in January 1862 at a cost of $40,000. In 1863 General William T. Sherman ordered it burned, but his men never carried out the order, because the river was easy to ford right below it. The bridge stood until 1969, when floodwaters brought it down.
  • Water from Rainy FallsFor years the Town Spring, on one of the first town lots, supplied most of Fayetteville's water. Later, more springs were found at Rainy Falls, five miles south. The Fayetteville Gravity Flow Water System opened in 1899, built for thirty-seven thousand dollars, and carried their fresh water into town.
  • Three courthousesLincoln County's first courthouse, built of logs, was finished in 1815, and Union troops used it as their local headquarters during the Civil War. An Italianate courthouse took its place in 1874. That building was torn down in 1970 for the Colonial Revival courthouse that stands today.
  • Camp Blount on the ElkTennessee soldiers gathered at Camp Blount, beside the Elk River, before marching off to the Creek War of 1813 and 1814 with General Andrew Jackson. Troops met there again for the Seminole Wars in 1818 and 1836, and both Confederate and Federal soldiers used it during the Civil War. A marker put up in 1998 stands on Huntsville Highway.
  • The war officeEarly settlers often settled their grudges with bare-fisted pummelling fights, and Fayetteville was one of the favorite places to hold them. The crowd enjoyed the show and made sure the fight stayed fair: no weapons, nothing thrown, and no biting. One Fayetteville grocery saw so many fights that people called it the war office.
