Cookeville, Tennessee, History
In the near late 1700s and the beginning of the 1800s, many of the earliest settlers in Putnam County were from Virginia and North Carolina through Walton Road. Most of these them were of English and Scotch-Irish origin.
The development of the area was slow since Putnam County was not established until 1842. The county was created from shares of White, Jackson, Overton, Smith, and DeKalb Counties.
Regarding the questions about the legality of the original forming, the constituency was re-established by the General Assembly in 1854 as the 80th county in the state.
The county was called after Israel Putnam, a general in the Revolutionary Army. In 1854, the property for the establishment of a county seat was bought by Charles Crook.
Cookeville was named for Major Richard F. Cooke, a Tennessee Senator who was engaged in the county's development. (From Putnam County, Tennessee 1850 to 1970 by Mary Jean Delozier)
