Living in Sevierville, TN

Although the Great Smoky Mountains had been inhabited by Cherokee Native American hunters searching for mastodons for more than 12,000 years, European settlers did not discover these fertile farming and hunting grounds until the 16th and 17th centuries. One such frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero, John Sevier, was one of the first, who gave the city its namesake and later became Tennessee's first governor when the state joined the union in 1796. Sevierville remained the home of Appalachian mountain culture throughout the 1800s. Known for its plentiful agriculture, coal mining, and bluegrass music, Sevierville still carries on these traditions today with a thriving tourist industry.
