A LITTE HISTORY
Meade County was established in 1887 when Lawrence County was split,
and the western part of the division was named Meade in honor of the
nearby cavalry post, Fort Meade, which had been established in 1877 and
named by army authorities for Gen. George C. Meade, a
union commander at the civil war battle of Gettysburg, and was home to
the Fourth and Seventh Cavalries.
