The History of Hassell Creek

Hassell Creek is a very real and special place, rich in history, located in Hickman County in Middle Tennessee. The Hassell family, from whom the creek took its name, settled on Hassell Creek a short time after the signing of the Indian Treaties of 1805 and 1806. This beautiful Creek is approximately 15 miles long, but the memories that have been created on or by Hassell Creek are endless. When the Indian treaties were signed, Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States and John Sevier was the Governor of the state of Tennessee. In 1805 the Third Treaty of Tellico was signed and the Cherokee Indians ceded the land in middle Tennessee north of the Duck River. In 1806 the Dearborn Treaty was signed and the Cherokee and Creek Indians ceded the land between the Duck River and the Tennessee southern boundaries. Hassell Creek Products are produced some 250 miles east of its namesake in an area that is also very rich in history.
