At that time these western lands were known as the US Territory South of the River Ohio (1790-1796). Washington District, North Carolina, was established in 1776. Washington County, North Carolina, was organized in 1777. It comprised all of North Carolina's western territory. It became the US Territory South of the River Ohio in 1790 and by the time Tennessee became a State in 1796, thirteen other counties had been formed out of it. Joyce
