Cherokee, in western Colbert County near the Tennessee River, began as a stop on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad in the late 1850s and early 1860s. It was incorporated on December 7, 1871, making it the second-oldest incorporated town in the county.
Nearby, George Colbert ran a ferry across the Tennessee River on the Old Trace from 1800 to 1819, with a stand, or inn, that offered travelers meals and shelter. Colbert looked after his own interests, and he once charged Andrew Jackson $75,000 to ferry his Tennessee army across the river, according to the National Park Service, which marks the site of his stand a short walk off the Old Trace.
