Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Knox County. The city had an estimated population of 183,270 in 2013, and a population of 178,874 as of the 2010 census, making it the state's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis. Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had an estimated population of 852,715. The KMSA is, in turn, the central component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had a population of 1,096,961.
First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century, though the arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom. During the Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies. Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center. The city's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed, the Downtown area declined, and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights. Hosting the 1982 World's Fair helped reinvigorate the city, and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city, especially the downtown area.
Tennessee (i/tɛnᵻˈsiː/) (Cherokee: ᏔᎾᏏ, Tanasi) is a U.S. state located in the Southeastern United States. Tennessee is the 36th largest and the 17th most populous of the 50 United States. Tennessee is bordered by Kentucky and Virginia to the north, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to the south, and Arkansas and Missouri to the west. The Appalachian Mountains dominate the eastern part of the state, and the Mississippi River forms the state's western border. Tennessee's capital and second largest city is Nashville, which has a population of 601,222. Memphis is the state's largest city, with a population of 653,450.
The state of Tennessee is rooted in the Watauga Association, a 1772 frontier pact generally regarded as the first constitutional government west of the Appalachians. What is now Tennessee was initially part of North Carolina, and later part of the Southwest Territory. Tennessee was admitted to the Union as the 16th state on June 1, 1796. Tennessee was the last state to leave the Union and join the Confederacy at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War in 1861. Occupied by Union forces from 1862, it was the first state to be readmitted to the Union at the end of the war.

We had three days to explore Knoxville, TN this spring, we researched the crap out of the town and found these spots that represent some of the best Beer, Cocktails, Burgers, Tamales and places to see live music. Of course in three short days we missed a helluva lot, so we're not calling this the definitive guide to Knoxville, its just our opinion on the Scruffy City.

If your one of the residents of another state and have begun voting with your feet, deciding to move out of the state instead of thinning your pocket through unwanted taxation, and wanting a state to welcome you with open arms maybe no-income-tax Knoxville Tennessee area might be for you......Knoxville metro area is one of only three in the United States whose economy has fully recovered from the impact of the recession. Employment grew by 2.1 percent, which exceeded the national figure.

Week one in Knoxville! Flying from Edinburgh airport, changing through Chicago!
Spent the afternoon at the Knoxville Zoo. My first ever visit here. I do recommend this Zoo. A lot of animals here as you will see in this video. I tried my best in get to everything, but the cages sometimes played havoc with my focusing. It was sunny and hot this day, when I arrived the temperature said 94 degrees on my car thermometer. Slideshow music is Dire Straits with the song 'Ride Across The River' from the "Brothers In Arms" album.
