Jamestown
Fentress County was formed in 1823 and named in honor of James Fentress (1763-1843) who served as speaker of the state house.
Alvin York (1887–1964), a hero during World War I, was born and lived in Fentress County. He also established the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute in Jamestown in 1924. York’s house and farm are now part of Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park in Pall Mall.
Fentress County is part of the Big South Fork National Park and also known for being a big Equestrian area, with riding trails and stables.
