WEAKLEY COUNTY HISTORY
 |
Weakley
County was established October 21, 1823 from lands ceded by the
Chickasaw
Indians. Weakley County was named for Colonel Robert Weakley who was at
the time Speaker of the Tennessee State Senate. Weakley County is
located
on the Plateau Slope of West Tennessee, one of the three "Grand
Divisions".
Weakley County is bordered on the north by the State of Kentucky, on
the
east by Henry County, on the South by Carroll and Gibson Counties, and
on the west by Obion County. Dresden is the County Seat of Weakley
County.
See PHOTOS of Colonel Robert Weakley & his wife First Settlers of Weakley County 1823 Legislative Petitions with names Col. John A. Gardner's 4th of July 1876 Speech at Dresden |
