A Little Warren County History

Warren County is located in the heart of Middle Tennessee, one of the state’s three “Grand Divisions.” Warren County was formed in 1807 from White County . It is named for Major General Joseph Warren, patriot of the American Revolution. “ Warren was one of the original Minute Men. Warren was Chairman of the Committee of Safety in Boston in 1775 and the man who sent Paul Revere to Lexington to warn John Adams and John Hancock of the British advance, setting Revere off on his famous ride. Warren was commissioned a Major General by the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill.”
