Claiborne County History

"Claiborne County was established on October 29, 1801, created from Grainger and Hawkins counties and extended the southern boundary to Anderson County. It was named for Virginia tidewater aristocrat William C. C. Claiborne, one of the first judges of the Superior Court and one of the first representatives in Congress from Tennessee. Claiborne County is located in the northern part of Tennessee. Claiborne County is bounded by Bell County, Kentucky; on the northeast, by Lee County, Virginia; on the southeast and south by Grainger and Union County, Tennessee; and on the west by Campbell County. Two rivers, Powell and Clinch, both rising in Virginia, flow through the county. The Clinch River bounds the county on the southeast and forms one of the largest embayments of Norris Lake. The Powell River, shorter of the two, shears away several miles from the Cumberland Mountains, but no longer flows into the Powell Valley, which is separated by a back valley ride."Read more at Threads of the Pruitts
