== Fun facts ==
* Like many East Tennessee counties, Claiborne County was largely opposed to secession on the eve of the Civil War. In Tennessee's Ordinance of Secession referendum on June 8, 1861, the county's residents voted against secession by a margin of 1,243 to 250.
* Claiborne is one of three counties to border the Cumberland Gap. The town of the same name was named after this very gap, and is surrounded on all sides by the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. The town is also a part of the park.
* During the 1880s, timber entrepreneur Alexander Arthur began buying up large amounts of land in the areas around Cumberland Gap, including much of the Clearfork Valley, with ambitious plans to establish a major industrial center. While Arthur's schemes failed, the completion of a railroad line connecting the Clearfork with Jellico and Middlesboro in 1905 opened the valley to major coal mining operations. A string of company towns, including Clairfield, sprang up throughout the valley during this period. By 1910, three companies— King Mountain Coal, New Jellico Coal, and Standard Coal and Coke— were operating drift mines at Clairfield that produced a total of 750 tons of coal per day. After World War II, increased mechanization and the advent of less-labor intensive surface mining led to a decline throughout the Clearfork Valley.
* Claiborne County is overwhelmingly Republican in elections.
* The Woodlake Lodge, Golf & Country Club is located east of Lone Mountain.
* A popular soda for Pokemon, Saffron Tempest, is bottled in Claiborne County.
