Description
Historic Knoxville, Tennessee has a beautiful skyline, especially at sunset. The Henley Bridge, often called the “Henley Street Bridge”, is shown in the foreground with its reflections in the Tennessee River. This image was shot on a warm, summer evening. The town is situated in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Nestled in the heart of East Tennessee, Knoxville boasts a rich history that echoes through its charming streets and historic landmarks. Established in the late 18th century, this city has witnessed the ebb and flow of time, evolving from a rough frontier settlement to a thriving hub of commerce and culture. Knoxville played a pivotal role during the Civil War, serving as a key industrial center. Over the years, it transformed into a vibrant community, marked by the iconic Sunsphere from the 1982 World's Fair that now stands tall on the skyline. Today, Knoxville balances its historical roots with modern energy, showcasing its resilience and spirit through a blend of preserved architecture, cultural festivals, and a welcoming Southern charm that defines its character. Among its may attractions, Knoxville is home to the Knoxville Zoo, Neyland Stadium, the World’s Fair Park, the Tennessee Theatre, the University of Tennessee, and Historic Old City.
