"Tennessee's Oldest Town" is Jonesborough, Tennessee located in Washington County. It was founded in 1779, 17 years before Tennessee became a state and while the area was under the jurisdiction of North Carolina. It was named after North Carolina legislator, Willie Jones. It was originally a part of the Washington District. In 1784, it became the capitol of the autonomous State of Franklin. Franklin, however, was never recognized by Congress, and was re-claimed by North Carolina in late 1788.
For the final location of this puzzle, fill in the blank.....How many letters are in the name of "Tennessee's Oldest Town"? Now, subtract 6 from that number.
