Dunlap was founded in 1858 as a county seat for Sequatchie County, which had been created the previous year.

The city's initial , which were deeded to the county commissioners by Willam Rankin, were chosen due to their central location within the new county.

Around 1900, the Douglas Coal and Coke Company purchased of land in the Dunlap vicinity with plans to mine coal and convert the coal into industrial coke. Coke, which is created by heating coal and removing its volatile matter, is used primarily as a deoxidizing agent in the production of pig iron. To convert coal mined on nearby Fredonia Mountain into coke, Douglas built the first of 268 ovens. The company used an incline railway to move the coal from the mountain to the ovens. Although Douglas went bankrupt in 1904, the Chattanooga Iron and Coal Company purchased the ovens, and continued producing coke until 1927.〔Carolyn Sakowski, ''Touring the East Tennessee Backroads'' (Winson-Salem, N.C.: J.F. Blair, 1993), 341-344.〕 In the 1980s and 1990s, the Sequatchie Valley Historical Association acquired the ruins of the coke ovens and established Dunlap Coke Ovens Park.〔(Coke Ovens Museum — History ).
