Knox County

Knox County was created in 1792 from parts of Greene and Hawkins counties. It is located just below where the French Broad and Holston rivers combine to form the Tennessee river. Knox County is a land of lakes and rivers, it is cradled by mountains. From several locations in Knox County one can look to the East and see the Great Smokey Mountains and look to the West and see the Cumberland Mountains. This is just the beginning of this web site.
