Robertson County Courthouse - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

In 1799 the first courthouse was built of hand-hewn logs, the second built of brick in 1819, and the third and present courthouse was completed in 1879. The north and south wings and clock tower were added in 1929 and covered with the brick now visible. There are four clocks mounted on each side of the clock tower. The bell tower is the county's logo symbol.

Robertson County was named in honor of Gen. James Robertson, the founder of the Cumberland Settlements. The first white settlement in Robertson County was made by Thomas Kilgore in 1779 on the Red River. Kilgore's Station became an important settlement in the migration to Tennessee.
