Chester County was the last county formed in Tennessee, created by the General Assembly in 1875 from adjacent parts of neighboring Hardeman, Henderson, McNairy and Madison counties. The land was supposed used to create a county named Wisdom County, but Wisdom County was never successfully organized.
Therefore, in March of 1879, the Assembly repealed this original declaration and voted to create Chester County out of the same land. Lawsuits by opponents of the creation of the new county name delayed its actual organization until 1882. Chester County was named for Colonel Robert I. Chester, a quartermaster in the War of 1812, an early postmaster in Jackson and a federal marshal.

Henderson, the county seat and largest city in Chester County, was born in 1857 as a railroad town with businesses established around the depot. This community was named for James Henderson, an officer in the War of 1812.
