Earliest explorers in ?u??i?Wise County?/u??/i? was about 1750 - Thomas Walker and hristopher Gist. Forts built after 1774. Considered too dangerous, even for hunting, until after 1794. The Cherokee conquered the area including Wise from the Xualae between 1671 and 1685. It was later contested by the Six Nations and the Shawnee. Cherokee and Shawnee hunting parties fought a protracted battle at the headwaters of the Clinch River for two days in the summer of 1786, a victory for the Cherokee although losses were heavy on both sides.
?u??i?Russell County?/u??/i? to the east of Wise; established in 1786 from a section of Washington County. Once vast, Russell County was split several times, giving rise to Tazewell County, Lee County, Scott County, Wise County, Buchanan County and Dickenson County.
?u??i?Dickenson County?/u??/i?, formed in 1880 from parts of Buchanan County, Russell County, and Wise County, is Virginia's youngest county.
?u??i?Buchanan County?/u??/i? was established in 1858 from parts of Russell and Tazewell counties, and it was named in honor of then-President James Buchanan; however, the pronunciation of the county's name differs from that of the 15th president's surname, with locals saying "Boo-can-nin". In 1880, part of Buchanan County was taken to form Dickenson County.
?u??i?Tazewell County?/u??/i?: In the spring of 1771, Thomas and John Witten established the first permanent settlement in Tazewell County at Crab Orchard. As population increased in the area, Tazewell County was created on December 20, 1799. The land for the county was taken from portions of Wythe and Russell counties.
