House Joint Resolution 72, sponsored by Lynn, honors Wilson County as it celebrates the 225th anniversary of its founding on October 26, 2024. The resolution highlights the county's historical significance, noting that it was established in 1799 when citizens petitioned to form a new county due to difficulties in conducting government affairs caused by the Cumberland River's seasonal impassability. Named after Major David Wilson, the county has contributed significantly to the cultural richness and character of Tennessee.

The resolution expresses the General Assembly's pleasure in recognizing Wilson County and its citizens for their contributions to the state. It extends congratulations and best wishes for continued success, growth, and prosperity to the community, acknowledging Wilson County as a true treasure of Tennessee. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, omitting specific legislative designations.
