History of Sale Creek
The name "Sale Creek" comes from the creek that flows through the area. This creek got its name from an event that happened long ago. In 1779, during the Cherokee–American wars, a "sale" or auction of items took place along the creek's banks. These items were collected from nearby Native American settlements.
During the American Civil War, from September to December 1863, soldiers from the 6th Tennessee Infantry US were stationed in this area.
