Unicoi County () is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the
|
16_1
|
population was 18,313. Its county seat is Erwin. Unicoi is a Cherokee word meaning "white," "hazy,"
|
16_2
|
"fog-like," or "fog draped."
|
16_3
|
Unicoi County is part of the Johnson City Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is a component of
|
16_4
|
the Johnson City–Kingsport–Bristol, TN-VA Combined Statistical Area, commonly known as the
|
16_5
|
"Tri-Cities" region.

|
History
|
16_7
|
Unicoi County was created in 1875 from portions of Washington and Carter counties. Its first
|
16_8
|
settlers had arrived more than century earlier but the population had been small. The county
|
16_9
|
remained predominantly agrarian until the railroads were constructed in the area in the 1880s.
|
16_10
|
During the 1910s, the Clinchfield Railroad established a pottery in Erwin, which eventually
|
16_11
|
incorporated under the name, "Southern Potteries." This company produced a popular brand of
|
16_12
|
dishware, commonly called Blue Ridge China, which featured hand-painted underglaze designs. While
|
16_13
|
the company folded in the 1950s, Blue Ridge dishes remain popular with antique collectors.
|
16_14
|
In 1916, a circus elephant, Mary, was hanged in Erwin for killing her trainer. Hanging was chosen
|
16_15
|
as the method of execution since all available guns were believed inadequate for killing an
|
16_16
|
elephant. The hanging was the subject of a book, The Day They Hung the Elephant, by Charles Edwin
|
16_17
|
Price.

the highest mountain in the Balds, is also Unicoi County's high point. Traversed by the
