HISTORY Tazewell County was formed out of Peoria
County in 1827. The consensus appears to be that it was named in honor
of Littleton Tazewell, who was serving in the U.S. Senate, and who
became Governor of Virginia in 1834. It is, however, possible that it
was named for Littleton's father, prominent Virginia politician Henry
Tazewell, for whom Tazewell County, Virginia, was named.
