Meigs County is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 11,753. Its county seat is Decatur.
Before 1819, the area that is now Meigs County was part of the Cherokee nation. However, white settlers established ferries across the Tennessee River from Rhea County as early as 1807. Colonel Return J. Meigs, who was to become the county's name source, operated a federal Indian agency across the river in Rhea County until 1817, when the agency moved to what is now Meigs County. In 1819, the Calhoun Treaty opened the land to settlement. Meigs County was formed in 1836 from parts of Rhea County.
