Inscription. Cannon’s eastern half is on the Highland Rim and its western half in the Central Basin Spurs of the Cumberland Plateau extend west creating numerous, small valleys and a varied topography for the county named for Governor Newton Cannon. Shawnee lived here before their retreat to Ohio. Black Fox Trial, named for the Cherokee leader bisected this area. Approximately 15,000 Cherokees forcibly removed from their homes camped here for a time here during the Trail of Tears.
