Lincoln County is located in Middle Tennessee, one of the state’s three “grand divisions.” Created in 1809 from Bedford County, the county was named for General Benjamin Lincoln, a Revolutionary War hero. The chief watercourse of the area is the Elk River. The county seat is Fayetteville.

The Lincoln County TNGenWeb site is updating to a modern format.  Please bear with us!

Welcome Bettye Liberty as the new County Coordinator!

We thank George Waller, the retiring Lincoln County Coordinator, for his nearly 27 years’ association as the founder of the Lincoln County site and for the legacy he leaves with TNGenWeb for the future.
