Thomas Kilgore was a Revolutionary War veteran from North Carolina, a close friend of James Robertson, and one of the earliest settlers of this area. He first visited here at age 62 in 1778 and returned in 1779 to erect an important early stockaded fort, Kilgore's Station, which became a point of gathering and departure for the settlers of this part of Tennessee and southern Kentucky.
