By order of the court in quarterly session on March 6, 1848, this court house was erected in 1848-1849 under commissioners John W. Nash, Wm. S. Dance, R.F. Graves, and Philip St. George Cocke. The first court house, built in 1778 or thereabouts, stood here at Scottville, and in 1796 the adjacent brick building still standing became the Clerk of Court's office until 1950. When the county was formed in 1777, Richard Ligon furnished the plat, on 1723 patent land, for the Court House Square.
