Knox County is a county in the U.S. state of Tennessee. Its county seat is Knoxville, as it has been since the creation of
the county. The county is at the geographical center of the Great Valley of
East Tennessee. Near the heart of the county is the origin of the Tennessee River at the union of the Holston and French
Broad Rivers. Knox County
was created on June 11, 1792 by Governor William Blount from parts of Greene
and Hawkins counties, and has the distinction of
being one of only eight counties created during territorial administration.
It is one of nine United States counties named for Revolutionary
War general and first United
States Secretary of War Henry Knox. Parts of Knox County later became Blount
(1795), Anderson
(1801), Roane (1801), and Union (1850) counties. The
following counties lie adjacent to Knox County: Union
County (north); Grainger
County
(northeast); Jefferson
