Cumberland County was created in 1798 from Green County. It sits in along the Kentucky-Tennessee border in the south central portion of the state. Of special note: it sits directly above Smith and Jackson counties, TN, during the time of its creation. This area of Kentucky saw large numbers of persons moving into and through as people were looking for new lands to settle as they were coming around the Appilachian Mountains heading West.
