Discover Scottsboro

Scottsboro, the seat of Jackson County, lies near the old Cherokee town of Sauta on the Tennessee River. Jackson County was created on December 13, 1819, a day before statehood, and its first seat was at Sauta, where early meetings were held in Sauta Cave, until the courthouse moved to Bellefonte in 1821. The city's founder, Robert Thomas Scott, served almost 20 years in the legislature and ran a hotel in Bellefonte; around 1850 to 1853 he and his wife, Elizabeth, moved to the site, which was called Scottsville, Scott's Mill or Sage Town until 1868. The Memphis and Charleston Railroad built a station there in 1857, while Bellefonte, protective of its river trade, refused the railroad.

More about Scottsboro

The Bellefonte courthouse was burned during the Civil War. In choosing a new seat, the county required a town within eight miles of the railroad and near the center of the county, and selected Scottsboro, leaving Bellefonte to decline. Courthouse construction began on the public square in 1868, the town was incorporated on January 20, 1870, with A. Snodgrass as first mayor, and a telegraph office opened in 1872. On March 25, 1931, a sheriff's posse stopped a freight train at Paint Rock after a fight between white and Black youths, beginning the Scottsboro Boys case, tried in Scottsboro and counted among the most important civil rights cases in American legal history.
