Lebanon was chosen as the county seat in 1802, and was located on land previously belonging to James Menees. It was named for the Biblical Lebanon because, like the ancient city, it was remarkable for its cedars. It was incorporated in 1807. Neddie Jacobs, a peculiar character and a fiddler, was the first settler on this site. Tradition says he was living there as early as 1800. The earliest physicians were: Drs. Samuel Hogg, Edmund Crutcher, and Henry Shelley. Doctor Shelley built the first brick house in Lebanon in 1812. John Alcorn was the first postmaster and John Trotter the first school teacher. The first church was erected by the Methodists in 1802, and Rev. German Baker was the pastor.

Dr. Hogg had been appointed surgeon on the staff of Colonel William Hall's First Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers, on November 21, 1812, and had served with them on the Natchez expedition.
