More about Knoxville, Tennessee

The first house on the site that is now Knoxville was built by James White in 1786, five years before the Cherokee people, by means of a treaty, gave up all rights to land in the area. The community was plotted in 1792 at the urging of William Blount, the governor of the Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio. Blount made James White’s fort the capital of the territory, and named it in honor of General Henry Knox, the first U.S. secretary of war. Knoxville quickly grew as a supply point for westward travel. The city was the first capital (1796-1812, 1817-1818) of the state of Tennessee. It incorporated in 1815.

The city’s allegiances were divided during the American Civil War; Confederate domination ended in 1863 when Union troops, under General Ambrose Burnside, repelled a Confederate attack led by General James Longstreet. Knoxville quickly rebuilt and established itself as an important commercial center in the South, and in the early 1900s its city limits were expanded. Knoxville’s economy was bolstered by the establishment in the 1930s of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provided abundant and inexpensive hydroelectric power for industry and homes. In the 1940s the creation of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a nuclear research facility, also improved the economy. In 1982 Knoxville was the site of a world’s fair that featured exhibits on the production and use of energy. The 1980s saw the growth of numerous industrial plants in Knoxville.
