Campbell County
Created 1806 from Anderson and Claiborne counties: named (reportedly) in honor of Arthur Campbell (1743-1811), member of Virginia House of Burgesses, Revolutionary and Indian wars officer, commisioner for negotiation of Indian Treatys.

Campbell County has produced some outstanding military, political, and corporate leaders. Major General Joseph A. Cooper, a Campbell County native, commanded the U.S. Sixth Tennessee Regiment during the Civil War. Captain Winston Baird commanded an all-volunteer military brigade during the Spanish-American War and received a presidential citation for his leadership and heroism. Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives, John J. Jennings and J. Will Taylor, were born and raised in LaFollette. Four-star General Carl W. Stiner was born on a Powell Valley farm and educated in Campbell County schools. General Stiner commanded the military forces in Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panama. He retired to his Powell Valley farm, and his brother, retired Colonel Tom Stiner, serves as county executive. Harry Stonecipher, chief executive officer of McDonald-Douglas Corporation, was born and raised in Campbell County, as was the late Dr. Burgin Dossett, a well-known Tennessee educator.
