Smith County was established in 1799 from a portion of Sumner County, was named for Daniel Smith, a U.S. Senator and former Secretary of the Southwest Territory.〔 The location of the county seat was hotly contested between Bledsoesborough (near modern Dixon Springs) and William Walton's ferry and tavern at the confluence of the Caney Fork and the Cumberland rivers. In 1804, voters chose Walton's site, and a town, named "Carthage," was platted the following year.〔 Smith County was the site of a large saltpeter mine. Piper Cave, located near Monoville, contains the poorly preserved remnants of dozens of saltpeter leaching vats. Most saltpeter mining in Middle Tennessee occurred during the War of 1812 and the Civil War, but the exact date of this operation is unclear.〔Thomas C. Barr, Jr., "Caves of Tennessee", Bulletin 64 of the Tennessee Division of Geology, 1961, 568 pages.〕
