Auge der Vorsehung
The seal of Hawkins County, Tennessee, was designed by the first Board of Trustees to govern the county after it transitioned from Spencer County, North Carolina, to Hawkins County, North Carolina, in 1787. The seal bears the all-seeing Eye of Providence, over-seeing the scales of justice. The year "1787" notes the year that the county's current name was established by the North Carolina General Assembly.
