Wikipedia article County Seat:
History: Giles County (formed in 1809 from Maury County, Tennessee) was named after Virginia Governor William B. Giles, upon the suggestion of Andrew Jackson. The county seat of Pulaski was named after Casimir Pulaski, a Polish patriot who served as a Revolutionary War cavalry leader. The site of the county seat was below the Congressional Indian Reservation line and land titles in that area were not clear until 1812 when restrictions on settlement in the Indian lands were removed.
