History

Founded in 1821

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Carroll County was created on November 7, 1821, from Non-County Area 4. The county lost territory to the creation of Weakley County in 1850 and to Weakley again in a boundary adjustment. Carroll County gained territory from Henderson County in 1883 and 1893.
