Dade County Industrial Development Authority WELCOME TO DADE COUNTY Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the major portion of Dade County is a serene fertile valley located between historic Lookout Mountain and stately Sand Mountain. However, it extends and covers a portion of both mountains as well. The county borders both Tennessee and Alabama. Trenton, the County Seat, is located approximately 25 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. It is close to other metropolitan cities in both Tennessee and Alabama. Atlanta, GA., Knoxville and Nashville, TN and Birmingham and Huntsville, AL are all only 2 ½ to 3 hours away. “The State of Dade”... There are numerous stories as to how this expression originated. We do know that in the 1860's Dade County was a hot bed of secession and no doubt there were many spirited debates at all the town meetings. It is thought that at one of these meetings a Declaration of Independence was voted on and passed declaring Dade County a “Free State”. The most authentic, and popular, version is that Col. R.H. Tatum was the father of the expression. Colonel Tatum, a foremost lawyer and politician of his day and a member of the Georgia legislature, took a very active and heated part in the discussion of secession in the legislature. In his closing, eloquent speech in the Georgia Assembly he was to have said, in no uncertain terms, that if the state of Georgia did not withdraw from the Union, Dade County would secede and would call itself the “Independent State of Dade”. Dade County officially became part of the Union again in a July 4, 1945 celebration on the courthouse lawn. The City of Trenton is older than the county. Trenton was first settled in 1830 and was commonly called Salem. However, after the county was carved from Walker County territory in 1837, the small community became the county seat and was renamed Trenton in honor of industrial engineers from Trenton, New Jersey, who came to the area searching for coal and iron. Trenton was incorporated on February 18, 1854. Morrison's Station, North of Trenton, was christened New England and incorporated on September 27, 1891. The name was changed to New England with the hope that it would become the South's industrial capital. This was a dream that was not to come true. South of Trenton is the peaceful town of Rising Fawn which was incorporated on September 15, 1881. In the past, this town has been called both “Rising Fawn” and “Rising Farm”. The local post office has been called Hannah and Stauton; Hannah, because it was established on the Hannah Plantation and Stauton to honor the man who built the Great Alabama Southern Railroad through there. Today the post office is called Rising Fawn. Located just below the Tennessee state line is the community of Wildwood, GA. A post office, community center and a few churches make up the heart of this community. Iron and coal did not make Trenton or the surrounding county a wealthy “boom” town. However, coal and iron ore did play a role in the history of Dade County. Today a section of the county on the north end of Sand Mountain is still called Coal City because of the mining that was once done in the area. Remains of coke ovens can still be identified on the side of Sand Mountain. Commissary Antiques, on Newsome Gap Road, is a memorial to the Rising Fawn Iron Works and occupies the old iron works commissary. Today Dade County is a growing area of northwest Georgia. The population is about 16,000. There are approximately 20 industries and over 300 small businesses operating in the county. 1 CLIMATE The National Weather Service reports an average annual precipitation of about 55 inches in Dade County. March is the wettest month with an average of just over 6 inches. October, the driest month, has an average of just over 3 inches. The mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures are about 72 and 47 degrees, respectively, and the average for the year is 60 degrees. However, it is not uncommon to have a few days where the temperature soars into the 90s and a few days when the thermometer dips into the teens. It is, however, unusual to have several consecutive days in either temperature range. The freeze-free season normally extends from April 12 to late-October - Averaging around 200 days in length. ~ Denotes member of Dade County Chamber of Commerce.

Smith Printed by Byron's Graphic Arts, Maryville, Tennessee June, 1990 FRONT COVER Saltpeter vat cast inTumbling Rock Cave VOLUME 24, NUMBER 2, JOURNAL OF SPELEAN HISTORY, APRIL-JUNE, 1990 THE NEED FOR SALTPETER The formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861 soon led to a bloody Civil War which created an urgency for all types of munitions. One of the South's most crucial necessities was to find an adequate supply for the ingredients of gunpowder: sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter. The first two were not much of a challenge. Large amounts of sulphur were stored in Louisiana, originally for use in refining sugar, and pyrites could be roasted. Trees for charcoal, "the willow, dogwood, and alder," were plenti­ ful. Saltpeter (calcium nitrate converted to potassium nitrate) was the major concern. Although some state governments had various amounts of powder on hand, and more was acquired when Federal forts and arsenals were seized, the total was far from adequate. 1 Consequent ly, there were efforts by local, state, and the Confederate governments to insure that there was a sufficient supply of powder and its components. One decision was to buy saltpeter and powder in Europe and ship it through the recently declared Federal naval blockade. Another was to re­ vive saltpeter m~n~ng in the Appalachian caves of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, which had been largely neglected since the War of 1812, and to encourage mining in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

  • A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity Across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama
    DECEMBER 2018 L Y Z A A N D K N U P P 4261 A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama ANTHONY W. LYZA AND KEVIN R. KNUPP Department of Atmospheric Science, Severe Weather Institute–Radar and Lightning Laboratories, Downloaded from http://journals.ametsoc.org/mwr/article-pdf/146/12/4261/4367919/mwr-d-18-0300_1.pdf by NOAA Central Library user on 29 July 2020 University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, Alabama (Manuscript received 23 August 2018, in final form 5 October 2018) ABSTRACT The effects of terrain on tornadoes are poorly understood. Efforts to understand terrain effects on tornadoes have been limited in scope, typically examining a small number of cases with limited observa- tions or idealized numerical simulations. This study evaluates an apparent tornado activity maximum across the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateaus of northeastern Alabama. These plateaus, separated by the narrow Wills Valley, span ;5000 km2 and were impacted by 79 tornadoes from 1992 to 2016. This area represents a relative regional statistical maximum in tornadogenesis, with a particular tendency for tornadogenesis on the northwestern side of Sand Mountain. This exploratory paper investigates storm behavior and possible physical explanations for this density of tornadogenesis events and tornadoes. Long-term surface observation datasets indicate that surface winds tend to be stronger and more backed atop Sand Mountain than over the adjacent Tennessee Valley, potentially indicative of changes in the low-level wind profile supportive to storm rotation. The surface data additionally indicate potentially lower lifting condensation levels over the plateaus versus the adjacent valleys, an attribute previously shown to be favorable for tornadogenesis.

  • 1987 (Text Version)
    VOLUME TWO, NUMBER ONE APRIL 1987 LIFE ON THE TENNESSEE COUNTY FLOURISHED DURING STEAMBOAT ERA It was considered the pride of the Tennessee River Navigation Company and The Chattanooga Times announced the news in December of 1910. The‐steamboat JOHN A PATTEN, 300-ton capacity, built for freight haul with first-class passenger accommodations, had burned to the water line while docked at Bridgeport. This was the same JOHN A PATTEN which only a few years before had triumphed in what is perhaps the most famous boat‐ race in Tennessee River history. The PATTEN'S rival was a powerful tow‑ boat named the PARKER. It was a race that symbolized the old versus the new on the river. The PATTEN, a graceful, elegantly crafted vessel from the past and the PARKER, a practical snub‐ nosed towboat. The boats raced downriver from Chattanooga, with the PARKER moving ahead at Williams Island. At this point, according to historian Donald Davidson, the PARKER'S engineer, Jess Allison, stood at the door of the engine room and gestured tauntingly with a rope, offering a tow to the PATTEN. But then river lore has it, the PARKER'S engine blew, propelling Allison from the engine room and into the water, where he was plucked unceremoniously by crewmembers. The PATTEN sailed on to victory, only to be destroyed at Bridgeport by a coal‑ tar caused fire. By this time, the glory days of the great steamboats were numbered. They would continue to ply the rivers, but their era was coming to an end. ‘ Jackson County was very much a part of the steamboat days on the Tennessee.
