James White's Fort

James White, The Founder of Knoxville, came to the future site of  Knoxville in the early 1780’s. His service in the Revolutionary War  earned him a large land grant. White built the first permanent  structure, his two-story log cabin, in 1786.  James White partitioned part of his land in October 1791 to establish the town which would become Knoxville.
