Information about  Knoxville

Knoxville is the county seat of Knox County, Tennessee, in the United States. Knoxville had a population of 190,740 people as of the 2020 United States census, making it the largest city in the East Tennessee Grand Division and the state’s third largest city after Nashville and Memphis. The Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area has an expected population of 869,046 people in 2019.

Knoxville was Tennessee’s first capital, having been founded in 1786. Throughout the early nineteenth century, the city battled with geographic isolation. The introduction of the railroad in 1855 sparked a boom in the economy. During the American Civil War, the city was strongly divided over the subject of secession, and it was controlled alternately by Confederate and Union soldiers, culminating in the Battle of Fort Sanders in 1863. Following the war, Knoxville quickly established itself as a major wholesale and manufacturing center. After the 1920s, the city’s economy stagnated as the manufacturing sector disintegrated, the downtown area decayed, and city leaders were embroiled in bitter political battles. The city’s reinvigoration was aided by hosting the 1982 World’s Fair, and city leaders and private developers’ revitalization activities have sparked major growth in the city, particularly in the downtown area.
