Johnson County, Tennessee

Johnson County is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 18,244.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/47/47091.html )〕 Its county seat is Mountain City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is the state's northeasternmost county, sharing borders with Virginia and North Carolina.
==History==
Johnson County was created in 1836 from parts of Carter County. This followed several years of bickering over the location of Carter County's seat, with residents of what is now Johnson County arguing that travel to Elizabethton was too lengthy and difficult. When their petition to move the seat to a more central location was rejected, they petitioned the state legislature for the creation of a new county. The new county was named after Thomas Johnson, an early settler. The county seat was initially named "Taylorsville" in honor of Colonel James P. Taylor (it was changed to "Mountain City" in the 1880s).〔〔"(The Forming of Johnson County )," Mountain City Elementary School website. Retrieved: 28 September 2015.〕
Most Johnson Countians supported the Union during the Civil War. The county's residents rejected secession by a margin of 788 to 111 in Tennessee's secession referendum on June 8, 1861.〔Oliver Perry Temple, ''(East Tennessee and the Civil War )'' (R. Clarke Company, 1899), p. 199.〕 The county sent a sizable delegation to the Greeneville session of the pro-Union East Tennessee Convention in June 1861.〔Charles F. Bryan, Jr., "(A Gathering of Tories: The East Tennessee Conventions of 1861 )," ''Tennessee Historical Quarterly'', Vol. 39, No. 1 (Spring 1980), pp. 27-48.〕
Due in large part to the county's remoteness, the railroads did not reach Johnson until the early 1900s. The arrival of the railroads during this period aided the development of the timber and manganese mining industries.〔
