Округ Салливан - это округ расположенный в США штат Теннесси , на северо -восточной границе. По состоянию на переписи 2020 года население было 158 163 года. [ 2 ] Его место в округе - Блаунтвилль . [ 3 ]
Округ Салливан является частью столичной статистической зоны TN-VA Kingsport-Bristol , которая является компонентом Kingsport - Johnson City - Бристоль , TN-VA , комбинированная статистическая зона , широко известная как регион « Три-города ».
Салливан-второй старейший округ Теннесси; [ 4 ] Он был основан в 1779 году, когда этот район все еще был частью Северной Каролины . С 1784 по 1788 год он был частью внепродажного штата Франклин . [ 5 ]
История
[ редактировать ]Округ Салливан был создан в 1779 году из части округа Вашингтон и назван в честь Джона Салливана , генерального патриота в революционной войне. [ 6 ] Лонг -остров Холстона в Кингспорте долгое время был важным центром для чероки , который занимал большую часть этой территории. Позже, в 1761 году, британские колонисты построили Форт Робинсон на Лонг -Айленде, после падения Форт -Лоудона дальше на юг. Это привлекло других поселенцев, и район Салливана стал одним из первых районов Теннесси, которые были урегулированы европейскими американцами. [ 1 ]
По мере того, как политическая напряженность возникла до американской гражданской войны , округ Салливан был одним из немногих округов Восточного Теннесси, чтобы поддержать отделение. Это стало известно как Маленькая Конфедерация. На референдуме в июне 1861 года в штате Теннесси округ проголосовал от 1586 до 627 в пользу отделения. [ 7 ]
География
[ редактировать ]По данным Бюро переписей США , в округе общая площадь 430 квадратных миль (1100 км 2 ), из которых 413 квадратных миль (1070 км 2 ) земля и 16 квадратных миль (41 км 2 ) (3,8%) - это вода. [ 8 ] Западная часть графства находится в аппалачи хребта и Valley , которые характеризуются длинными узкими хребтами, примерно ориентированными на северо-восток к Южному западу. Северо-восточная часть горы залива , часть хребта хребет и Valley, поднимается к юго-западу от Кингспорта. Восточная часть округа находится в горах Голубого хребта . [9] Гора Холстон , которая находится на 4284 футах (1,306 м), является самой высокой точкой в Салливане, пробивает восточную границу округа в округе Джонсон .
In Kingsport, the South Fork Holston River and the North Fork Holston River join to form the Holston River, one of the tributaries of the Tennessee River. The Watauga River, a tributary of the South Fork Holston, forms part of Sullivan's boundary with Washington County to the south. The North Fork Holston forms part of Sullivan's boundary with Hawkins County to the west. Fort Patrick Henry Dam and Boone Dam both create large artificial lakes along the South Fork Holston southeast of Kingsport.
Blountville, Sullivan's county seat, is Tennessee's only unincorporated county seat.
Morrell Cave
[edit]Morrell Cave (also known as Worleys Cave) is a Tennessee State Natural Area. The cave has a surveyed length of 4.4 miles (7.1 km), making it the second-longest cave in East Tennessee and the 177th longest cave in the United States.[10][11] Morrell Cave is located on the south side of the Holston River, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Bluff City.
During the Civil War, the cave was a major source of saltpeter, the main ingredient of gunpowder. Significant evidence of this mining activity remains in the cave, including evidence of large amounts of saltpeter-bearing dirt having been removed, pick marks in the dirt, and an elaborate system of trails used by the miners. Cave historian Marion O. Smith has determined that two companies of the Confederate Nitre and Mining Bureau, District No. 7, were active in Sullivan County.[12]

Government
[edit]Sullivan County, like all of Tennessee outside Nashville and Memphis, is heavily Republican, but, unlike most of East Tennessee, has not voted consistently Republican since the Civil War. Being one of only six counties in East Tennessee and the only county in Northeast Tennessee to support the Confederacy, Sullivan County mostly voted Democratic between the end of the Civil War and the mid-20th century, the only county in the northern two-thirds of East Tennessee to do so. The last Democratic presidential candidate to carry Sullivan County was southerner Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Richard Venable is the county mayor. The county commission has 24 members.[22] Before 2010, commissioners were elected on a nonpartisan basis, but Sullivan County's commission election became a partisan election in 2010 after the county Republican Party decided to conduct a primary election for commission seats.[23] The county elections also cover Circuit Court Judges, Chancellor, Criminal Court Judge, District Attorney General, Public Defender, County Trustee, General Session Judge, Sherriff, Circuit Court Clerk, County Clerk, Register of Deeds, Commissioner of Highways, County Attorney, and School Board.

Law enforcement
[edit]The Sullivan County Sheriffs Office has a staff of 260 deputies, corrections officers, and support personnel. The department also staffs a 24-7 9-1-1 dispatch center that provides dispatching for the sheriff's office, Bluff City Police Department, Sullivan County Fire Departments, and Sullivan County EMS. The dispatch center receives approximately 100,000 calls each year.[26]
As of 2022[update] the sheriff is Jeff Cassidy, who won election in 2018 after a very contentious race against previous sheriff Wayne Anderson.[27] Anderson apologized after sending text messages to a corrections employee that threatened to fire anyone who voted for his opponent, Jeff Cassidy, and saying that department employees would urinate on Cassidy's grave.[28]
A 2022 lawsuit claims that sheriff's deputies retaliated against a woman who had asked them to wear face masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[29]
Since the organization was established, 10 members of the sheriff's office have died in the line of duty.[30]
