An important industrial activity in Jefferson County was production of gunpowder.  A powder mill was in operation by 1810 in Mossy Creek and Samuel McSpadden's powder mill in the Shady Grove community (opened 1812).  McSpadden's mill operation provided gunpowder for Andrew Jackson's troops in the War of 1812.
