Elizabethton: Carter County and the Doe River Covered Bridge
Elizabethton serves as the seat of Carter County in east Tennessee, about seven miles east of Johnson City, with roughly 14,000 residents. The city sits along the Watauga River and takes its name from Elizabeth Carter, wife of Landon Carter for whom the county was named. The Sycamore Shoals area of Elizabethton is where the overmountain men organised in 1780 before marching to victory at the Battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina.
The Doe River Covered Bridge, built in 1882, is one of the oldest covered bridges in use in Tennessee and carries pedestrian traffic across the Doe River at its junction with the Watauga. Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park preserves the site of the Watauga Association (an early frontier government) and the Transylvania Purchase negotiations between Richard Henderson and Cherokee leaders in 1775.
Milligan University, a Christian liberal arts college founded in 1866, operates on a campus near Elizabethton. The city has served as a manufacturing center at various points, with current employment spread across small and mid-sized industrial operations.
