A Closer Look at Sevierville…

The city of Sevierville has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s. During the Civil War, the citizens of Sevier County were mostly Union supporters, with only 3.8% voting for secession from the Union. The community began to grow in the 1800s, and population and commerce increased even more in 1910 when the Smoky Mountain Railroad was built. The Smoky Mountain Railroad connected Knoxville and Sevierville until 1962.

With the creation of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the small town of Sevierville boomed. Today, it caters to tourists from around the world as they come to marvel in the majestic Smoky Mountains. With a population of 11,000, Sevierville is small enough to maintain that hometown feel, but large enough to provide the food, fun and lodging to keep tourists coming back.
