History

Formed in 1793 from Russell County

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

Lee County was created from Russell County in 1793 and named after Henry Lee Iii. The county lost territory to the creation of Scott County in 1814, regained some of it in 1822, and lost additional territory to the creation of Wise County in 1856.
