Ordoubadian organized its initial gathering in the spring of 1975 in conjunction with the Southeastern Conference on Linguistics held in Nashville, Tennessee. After a hiatus of five years, TECOL reorganized under the impetus of Michael Montgomerty of Memphis State University and met in Martin, Tennessee, in conjunction with the Tennessee Philological Association in February 1980. Montgomery initiated the semi-annual publication Tennessee Linguistics in the winter of 1981. TECOL met each year at various institutions in Tennessee until 1992.
