As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,819,[2] making it the fourth-least populous county in Tennessee. Its county seat is Sneedville.[3] HistoryHancock County was created from parts of Hawkins and Claiborne counties. The act establishing the county was passed by the state legislature in 1844, but several Hawkins residents sued to block its creation. In 1848, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled in favor of the new county. The county seat, Sneedville, was named in honor of the attorney William H. Sneed, who represented the county in the court case. The county was named after the Revolutionary War patriot John Hancock.[1][4] GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|223|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|222|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|1.2|sqmi}} (0.5%) is water.[5] Adjacent counties

Politics{{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential election results }}
Like all of Unionist East Tennessee, Hancock County has been overwhelmingly Republican since the Civil War. Since the Republican Party first contested the state in 1868, every official Republican nominee has gained an absolute majority of Hancock County’s vote, even William Howard Taft during 1912 when the GOP was bitterly divided. The only post-Civil War Democratic Presidential nominee to even reach forty percent of Hancock County’s vote has been Bill Clinton in 1992, when he was aided by the local popularity of Tennessee Senator Al Gore, whose native home in Smith County is nearby.
