In
1786 James White built a fort five
miles below the junction of the French
Broad and Holston Rivers on the southernmost
edge of frontier settlement in present-day
East Tennessee. William Blount, governor
of the Territory of the United States
South of the River Ohio, selected
the site of James White's Fort as
the territorial capital in 1791 and
gave it the name Knoxville in honor
of Revolutionary War hero General
Henry Knox (1750-1806), who served
as the first U.S. secretary of war
from 1785 to 1794.
Knox County, also named for Henry Knox, was created from parts of Greene and Hawkins Counties on June 11, 1792, by Governor Blount and has the distinction
of being one of only eight counties created during territorial administration.
Knoxville has served as the county seat of Knox County from the date of the county's
creation. Portions of Knox County were later removed to create Blount County
(1795), Anderson County (1801), Roane County (1801), and Union County (1850).
Knox County currently contains 509 square miles and lies at the geographical
center of the Great Valley of East Tennessee. The Tennessee River originates
near the center of the county from the union of the Holston and French Broad
Rivers.
Governor Blount designated Knoxville as the capital of the Territory South of
the River Ohio from 1791 to 1796. Knoxville also served as the capital of the
State of Tennessee from 1796 to 1812 with the exception of one day in 1807, when
the legislature met in Kingston, and briefly again in 1817-18. Frontier leader
General John Sevier, a resident of Knox County, served as governor of Tennessee
from 1796 to 1801 and 1803 to 1809, most of Knoxville's years as the state capital.
Since no state capitol building was constructed until work began on the present
capitol building in Nashville in 1845, the general assembly met in taverns and
public buildings. Blount Mansion (1792), the home of Territorial Governor Blount,
is the most historically significant dwelling surviving in Knox County from the
pre-statehood era and is the only National Historic Landmark in the county.
Newspapers were published in Fountain City and Knoxville. Scattered early issues are available from 1798, and a complete run begins in 1926. See Extended History for More information.

The uses and value of military records in genealogical research for ancestors who were veterans are obvious, but military records can also be important to re-searchers whose direct ancestors were not soldiers in any war. The fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and other close relatives of an ancestor may have served in a war, and their service or pension records could contain information that will assist in further identifying the family of primary interest. Due to the amount of genealogical information contained in some military pension files, they should never be overlooked during the research process. Those records not containing specific genealogical information are of historic value and should be included in any overall research design. A list of Wars fought on American.

county in the State six months immediately preceding the day

The Repositories
in this section are Archives, Libraries, Museums, Genealogical
and Historical Societies. Many County Historical and Genealogical
Societies publish magazines and/or news letters on a monthly,
quarterly, bi-annual or annual basis. Contacting the local societies
should not be over looked. State Archives and Societies are
usually much larger and better organized with much larger archived
materials than their smaller county cousins but they can be
more generalized and over look the smaller details that local
societies tend to have. Libraries can also be a good place to
look for local information. Some libraries have a genealogy
section and may have some resources that are not located at
archives or societies. Also, take a special look at any museums
in the area. They sometimes have photos and items from years
gone by as well as information of a genealogical interest. All
these places are vitally important to the family genealogist
and must not be passed over.

Knoxville enjoyed an early advantage from its status as the capital city of the
new and growing state and from its central location in the Great Valley of East
Tennessee and quickly became the largest commercial center of the region. The
first newspaper in Tennessee, the Knoxville Gazette, was established
in 1791 by George Roulstone. Following its early growth, Knoxville lagged behind
Nashville and Memphis in the decades prior to the Civil War, in part because
of the difficulty of transportation on the Tennessee River. When the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad and the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad met in Knoxville
in 1855, the transportation problem was solved.
Location and the railroads made Knoxville and East Tennessee strategic targets
for both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. The battle of
Fort Sanders (1863) confirmed Union control of the city for the rest of the war.
With Federal occupation of the city, William Gannaway "Parson" Brownlow (1805-1877),
Unionist leader, author, and newspaper editor, returned to Knoxville in triumph
in 1863. He later served as governor of Tennessee (1865-69) and U.S. senator
(1869-75).
Post-Civil War recovery was initially slow and difficult, but Knoxville retained
its role as the major center of commerce in East Tennessee. By 1900 Knoxville
had a population of 32,000 and appeared to have enormous potential for continued
growth. Testaments to the city's growing regional and national importance, Knoxville
hosted Appalachian Expositions in 1910 and 1911 as well as the 1913 National
Conservation Exposition. The major industries of the early twentieth century
were textiles, coal, lumber, marble, and zinc. Growth had slowed again by the
1930s. As a result of the New Deal initiatives, the Tennessee Valley Authority
located its headquarters in Knoxville in 1933 and became a significant employer.
A group of Knoxvillians led by Colonel David Chapman was instrumental in the
creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1934, which eventually
generated a booming tourism industry in East Tennessee. The explosive post-World
War II growth of the University of Tennessee and nearby Oak Ridge had a major
impact on the city's economy as well. Knoxville hosted the 1982 World's Fair,
which drew visitors from across the nation and the world. The principal industries
of the 1990s included apparel and textiles, metal products, and food products.
Education has also played an important role in Knox County's history. The University
of Tennessee grew out of Blount College, founded in Knoxville in 1794. The University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, the home campus of the statewide University of Tennessee
system, serves twenty-five thousand students in 297 degree programs in fifteen
colleges and schools. Knoxville College, founded in 1875 to provide a unique
educational experience for African Americans, remains the oldest historically
black college in East Tennessee. Pellissippi State Technical Community College,
established in 1974, currently enrolls eight thousand students in programs for
associate undergraduate degrees and vocational training. Knox County operates
a consolidated city and county public school system with an enrollment of over
fifty-two thousand students in grades K-12. Lawson McGhee Library, the main library
of the Knox County Public Library System, is the oldest continuously functioning
public library in East Tennessee.
Growing communities in Knox County include the incorporated town of Farragut,
the fastest growing area of Knox County, and the unincorporated communities of
Concord, Halls, Karns, and Powell. Some historic communities in Knox County include
Asbury, Ball Camp, Byington, Cedar Bluff, Corryton, Dante, Ebenezer, Gibbs, Graveston,
Harbison's Cross Roads, Heiskell, Kimberlin Heights, Mascot, Millertown, Riverdale,
Skaggston, Solway, Spring Place, Stock Creek, and Thorn Grove. The county's 2000
population was 382,032.
A number of individuals who have made significant contributions to Tennessee
and United States history are associated with Knoxville and Knox County. Among
important writers with Knoxville connections are James Agee, Frances Hodgson
Burnett, Nikki Giovanni, George Washington Harris, Joseph Wood Krutch, Cormac
McCarthy, J. G. M. Ramsey, and Tennessee Williams. Military leaders from Knox
County include Admiral David Glasgow Farragut and Brigadier General Lawrence
D. Tyson. Country music star Roy Acuff and blues musician Walter "Brownie" McGhee
both spent their formative years in Knoxville. Inventors George Dempster and
Weston Fulton called Knoxville home, as did Harvey Broome, a founder of the Sierra
Club.
