Discover Section
Section, on Sand Mountain in Jackson County, stands on land where the Cherokee once hunted and lived. It was first known as Mount Zion when its post office was established, and it grew from communities such as Kirby Creek, Gossets Hollow and Fern Cliff. Pioneer settlers arrived in large numbers in 1862; they had to live on the land for five years before claiming it.
More about Section
The town was later called Section because it was the site of the 16th Section, the square-mile parcel the federal government required be set aside to support public schools. Bort Harrison ran a water-powered flour and gristmill in 1886, and the first store was built in 1889. The first school was built before 1890 and burned that year; its successor lasted 25 years before it too burned. Section was officially incorporated in August 1910, and in 1974 it began an annual Labor Day celebration.
