In 1776, the District of Washington was formed from lands in the west of North Carolina.  At the time, this area was governed as part of North Carolina.  The county of Sullivan was carved out of this area in 1779.  In 1784, Sullivan County and two adjacent counties formed the short-lived "State of Franklin", in the next year four more counties were created in Franklin, and by 1788 Franklin became defunct.  In 1790 the counties that had made up Franklin were all ceded to the Federal government by North Carolina.
