Watauga Association
The Watauga Association (sometimes referred to as the Republic of Watauga or the Watauga Settlement) was a semi-autonomous government from 1772 to 1777 in what is now Northeast Tennessee. The settlers negotiated a ten-year lease of the land from the Cherokee in 1772 and, being beyond the jurisdiction of any existing government, established their own.
