The Johnson City Council #559 was founded in 1919 in Johnson City, Tennessee. 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, in Bristol, Virginia 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 Sequoyah. The council moved its headquarters back to Johnson City, TN, but kept the #713 council number, despite the headquarters city and state change. | |||
