The first pioneers to explore the Tazewell area were the long
hunters, surveyors, and land speculators. In 1750, Dr. Thomas
Walker remarked in his diary on the lush grass, plentifulness of
game, and large quantities of coal. The town of Tazewell, settled
in 1799 and incorporated in 1870, was first called Jeffersonville
Township in honor of third U.S. president and native Virginian
Thomas Jefferson. Over 200 years have passed, but the region's
mountains and vast areas of pastureland remain unspoiled. Tazewell
now serves as the seat and one of the most historic areas in
Tazewell County.
