?Pope county was established January 10, 1816 from portions of Gallatin and Johnson Counties. The county seat was originally Sarahsville which was renamed Golconda in 1817 and has continued in Golconda since.

The brick courthouse was built 1872-1873 by builders Yost & Laxman. Little has changed on its exterior appearance since its construction.
