History
Formed in 1839 from Montgomery County and Wythe County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Pulaski County was created on March 30, 1839, from Montgomery and Wythe counties. The county was named after Casimir Pulaski. Shortly after its creation, Pulaski lost territory to Montgomery on February 14, 1842, but gained a small area from Wythe on March 10, 1862.
