Dunlap was founded in 1858 as a county seat for Sequatchie County, which had been created the previous year. The city was named for state legislator William Claiborne Dunlap, who played a prominent role in the county's creation. The city's initial 40 acres (0.16 km 2), which were deeded to the county commissioners by Willam Rankin, were chosen due to their central location within the new county. Dunlap was incorporated as a city in 1941. Around 1900, the Douglas Coal and Coke Company purchased 14,000 acres (57 km 2) of land in the Dunlap vicinity with plans to mine coal and convert the coal into industrial coke.
