== Fun facts ==
* Fentress County was the site of several saltpeter mines. Saltpeter is the main ingredient of gunpowder and was obtained by leaching the earth from local caves. The largest mine was in York Cave, near the Wolf River Post Office. At one time, twenty-five large leaching vats were in operation in this cave. According to Barr (1961) this cave was mined during the Civil War. Buffalo Cave near Jamestown was also a major mine with twelve leaching vats. Manson Saltpeter Cave in Big Indian Creek Valley was a smaller operation with four leaching vats. These caves may also have been mined during the War of 1812, as saltpeter mining was widespread in Kentucky and Tennessee during that era.
* Fentress is one of Tennessee's more powerfully Republican counties, only voting for a Democrat in a presidential election three times since 1912 - Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Bill Clinton twice.
* Clarkrange is named for Cyrus Clark, who operated an inn and cattle ranch in the community during the late 19th century. Prior to Clark's arrival, the land had been used by local farmers as a free range area for cattle.
* On the first Saturday of every October, Allardt hosts the Great Pumpkin Festival and Weigh-Off, which coincides with world-wide pumpkin weigh-off.
* Oil drilling and logging activities took place in the Armathwaite area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
