Plate letter, A.  Hand written serial number, 3823. The printing is clear and the contrast good. Bold signature on bottom. Back is blank. Centered fairly well. Condition is about uncirculated.

In 1817 Estillville was named in honor of Benjamin Estill, a local judge instrumental in the formation of the new county. As a result of the county seat's location near Big Moccasin Gap and the North Fork of the Holston River, the town grew into a commercial center for people passing through on their way westward. The current name, Gate City, came in 1886, when Attorney General Rufus Ayers pointed out that proximity to Big Moccasin Gap marked the town as the "Gate Way to the West." The town was incorporated in 1892.     [jet]
