History

Some say the name is a mispronunciation of “DeWitt’s Corner”, while others believe the town was due west on a pioneer trail.

The Treaty of Dewitt’s Corner, a historic peace negotiation in May 1777 with the Cherokee Indians, was signed in Due West. As a result of the treaty, the Cherokee peoples broke into two factions. One of them, the Chickamauga Cherokee, continued fighting area settlers for another 17 years.

The Erskine College-Due West Historic District, Lindsay Cemetery, and Young Place are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
