Telford is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Washington County, Tennessee, located between Jonesborough and Limestone.

[7][8] During the Civil War, citizens of this part of Washington County voted to secede from the Confederacy, but they were unsuccessful in persuading others to do so.

The independent nation called "Bricker's Republic" soon fell into relative obscurity.

[9] A Civil War battle took place in Telford on September 8, 1863, when the 100th Ohio Infantry clashed with the Confederate-aligned Thomas' Legion just east of the depot.

The Confederate force was supported by 4-Howitzer artillery unit commanded by General Alfred "Mudwall" Jackson.
