Grand Division

[edit]

Does anyone know the reason why Sequatchie County is a part of Middle Tennessee, but the counties immediately to the North and to the South of it, Bledshoe and Marion, are part of East Tennessee? That Grand Division border, officially defined by law, is very strange. Inkan1969 (talk) 15:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sequatchie and Marion were moved to Middle in the 1930s, and Marion moved back to East in the 1950s. I'm not sure of the reasons, but every few decades, the Grand Divisions are realigned. Cumberland has been part of both Middle and East, as well, and some counties south of Nashville have been part of both Middle and West. Note these codified definitions generally only affect the consistency of the state supreme court. Geographically, Sequatchie is part of East TN. BrineStans (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
