history

Native Americans occupied Lenoir City and its surrounding area for thousands of years before the first European settlers arrived. Judge David Campbell, an East Tennessee pioneer, was the first to settle in Lenoir City where he built a log cabin along with a gristmill in the early 19th century. Also in the 19th century, General William Lenoir was deeded a 5,000 acre tract of land , which is now Lenoir City, as payment for his services during the American Revolutionary War.
