Lenoir is a full-service city near Knoxville, founded in 1840 and incorporated in 1907. However, the history of settlement in the area stretches further back than that. For instance, the first European settlers arrived in the area around 1810. Among these early settlers was David Campbell, who had laid claim to the land where Lenoir City stands in the early 19th century. However, the State of North Carolina deeded 5000 acres of the same land to General William Lenoir as a reward for his participation in the American Revolutionary War.

The Lenoir family played a crucial role in the development of the area. Ballard Lenoir, the son of general Lenoir, moved into the area with his family and established a plantation producing ham from Berkshire hogs, flour, timber, and one of the earliest cotton mills in the south. When the railway lines were constructed in the area, a depot was constructed at the Lenoir plantation, paving the way to develop a community.
