Brief
History:
About a year after Thompson
settled, Levi Moore and his family
arrived, and the area soon after became
known as
"Moore's Settlement". In 1838
the first store opened in what was then
called Lomax. Grundy County was
organized in
1841 with set boundaries. The county
was named for Felix Grundy, Tennessee
senator and United States attorney general
under President Jackson. In 1857,
the county seat of Grundy County -
Trenton, was born. The first court in
Grundy County
was held in a log house in Trenton
(known then as Lomax Store).
