Established in 1801, Roane County is east centrally located.

The county is named in honor of Archibald Roane, once governor of Tennessee, member of the Constitution Convention, and served as judge on higher federal courts. Kingston is the county seat and lies between the Tennessee River, which does a turn to the east, and twisty Melon Hill Lake.

A mountainous terrain provides for this county's beautiful panoramic sights. The Mount Roosevelt State Forest occupies a portion of the county's west side.
