-The Johnson City Council #559 is located in Johnson City, Tennessee, and was founded in 1919.  It changed its name several times, to the Washington County Council in 1922, to the Appalachian Council in 1925, and to the Cherokee Area Council also in 1925.  Across the border in Virginia, the Chief Benge Council #713, headquartered in Bristol, VA was founded in 1925.  In 1929, the Chief Benge Council, and the Cherokee Area Council merged to form the Chief Benge-Cherokee Council #713, headquartered in Bristol, VA. In 1936, the merged council changed its name to the Sequoyah Council, and moved its headquarters back to Johnson City, TN, but kept the #713 council number, despite the headquarters city and state change.
