History

Formed in 1807 from White County

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

Warren County was created from White County on November 26, 1807. Over the following decades, the county's boundaries changed significantly through a series of boundary exchanges with neighboring counties, including losses to Franklin, Coffee, Cannon, Dekalb, Marion, Van Buren, and Grundy counties.
