Welcome to Dickson County, Tennessee

Dickson-Online was first established in 1996. At that time it was a small community site, housed on Mindspring.com. The site grew and in 1998 it became known as DCTN.com, home of Dickson County's Genealogy Project. Again the site grew. In 2003 it was decided that DCTN.com and Dickson-Online would merge, becoming the difinitive site for Dickson Countians to gather, find local information and news as well as a place for genealogists to search their roots.
