Early History of Blount County, Tennessee

A Portion of Map Printed in 1795 showing Blount County

Blount County was created out of Knox County by an act passed at the second session of the territorial assembly at Knoxville, on July 11, 1795, and named in honor of William Blount, the first and only territorial governor.

History of the Maryville (Daily) Times

First published in 1884 by A.J. Neff & Sons, the Maryville [Tennessee]Times has been in continuous operation under a family ownership model for more than a century.

In 1847 William B. Scott, a free black, traveled to East Tennessee with his family from their home in North Carolina.
