Cookeville is located in north-central Tennessee between Nashville and Knoxville. Before people settled in the area, the Cherokee Native American tribe ruled the region during the Paleo-Indian and early European colonial eras of history. The Cherokee tribe would use the area for collective hunting. Around the end of the 1700s to the beginning of the 1800s, long hunters from Virginia and North Carolina, most of whom were of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry, settled in the area surrounding Cookeville and Putnam County. The area became economically dominant with the expansion of agriculture, logging, and lumber industries in the early 19th century.

Putnam County was re-established in 1854 when new Tennessee state legislation mandated the formation of a county seat. In the same year, Charles Crook acquired land that would become the new county seat because it had access to natural springs capable of supporting a community. Later, the land was named Cookeville after Richard Fielding Cooke, an early pioneer who arrived in Tennessee in 1810 and resided in the region. 

Today, Cookeville offers a wide range of recreational and cultural options. If you are a golfing fan, you can head to one of the city's local golf courses, including Cookeville Golf, Country Club, and Belle Acres Golf Club.
