    October 2013 NEWSLETTER Vol. 35, No. 3 COMMITTED TO COLLECTING, PRESERVING, AND SHARING THE UNIQUE HERITAGE OF OUR COUNTY This issue of the Historical Society Newsletter is featuring some wonderful articles written by our members. Enjoy! Two Petitions The County Seat Should be Further West, 1777 When legislation was passed in late 1776 to divide Fincastle into Montgomery, Washington, and Kentucky counties, Black’s Fort was designated as the county seat for Washington. The legislation went into effect on January 1, 1777. At that time, the southern border of Virginia had not been determined in the area, and many people believed that it was at the South Holston River. The people who were living in what is now East Tennessee thought they lived in Washington County. For them, Black’s Fort was too distant. They petitioned the General Assembly for a more convenient center of government. They stated that they “….were greatly injured in the Division of Fincastle in the year 1776 by the manner in which the line was directed to be run." At that time, Montgomery County bordered Washington County, and the petitioners showed their displeasure that the border of Washington County was only thirty miles from the Montgomery line and twelve miles from North Carolina. The pointed out that what they believed to be the lower border of Washington County was seventy miles from Black's Fort. They wanted the seat of govern- ment to be near the center of the county. Approximately seventy-five men signed the petition. Had their petition been acted on, the county seat could have been in present-day Tennessee.

    SOUTH KNOXVILLE HISTORIC DRIVING TOUR CHAPMAN HWY/VESTAL/MARTIN MILL PIKE/WOODLAWN PIKE/ISLAND HOME/SEVIER AVE Start by crossing Tennessee River via the Henley Street Bridge. Total Driving Distance = 22.6 miles 1. HENLEY STREET BRIDGE Mileage starts as you exit the the south side of the bridge Henley Bridge, also known as the Henley Street Bridge, and the George Dempster Bridge, was completed in 1931 as a city-sponsored project. First envisioned in 1927, and partly guided by then-City Manager George Dempster—not long before he invented the famous Dumpster--it is considered one of Knoxville's great architectural achievements. Its upper platform was rebuilt, but the concrete piers and arches are original. 2. CHAPMAN HIGHWAY TO MARYVILLE PIKE starts at Chapman at W. Blount Ave. Chapman Highway was built in the early 1930s, expressly to connect Knoxville (and, via the Dixie and Lee Highways, the rest of America) more directly to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Chapman Highway is named for Col. David Chapman (1876-1944), pharmaceutical executive, Spanish-American War veteran, and hiker/conservationist who became known as the Father of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In his later years, he lived on South Knoxville's Topside Drive. Before Chapman Highway, the main routes south were narrow, meandering Sevierville Pike, on the east side, and rural Maryville Pike on the west side. Chapman went between the two routes. It takes a southerly course out of Knoxville, but eventually bends to the east to enter Sevierville as Highway 441.. In 1940, a presidential motorcade carried Franklin D.
