Early Beginnings of Grayson
& Carter County
In 1785, surveyors first came to the area to survey and lay out large grants of land. Two of the grants were the Richard Graham Grant of 185,000 acres and the William Grayson Grant of 70,000 acres. Carter County was part of Fayette County, Virginia at this time.
On May 1, 1838, the county came into being through the efforts of Senator William G. Carter. The county was named for him. Senator Carter and his wife, Hebe Grayson, the only daughter of William Grayson offered land for the county seat, Grayson. Grayson was incorporated in 1844.
