A Brief Overview of Kodak, Sevier County
From its beginnings as a traditional subsistence-based
farming society, Sevier County has grown into a major tourist
destination since the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, which is dominates the southern portion of the county.
One of the very reasons for the park's creation, however, was also one
of the county's first major economic engines: the lumber industry.
Establishments in what is now the national park felled large amounts of
timber in the early 1900s. Though the park effectively killed the
then-lagging industry in the late 1930s, it spurred the development of
one of the largest tourist resorts in the United States of America, as
the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is now the most visited
national park in the country. In recent years the tourism bubble has
expanded beyond the city of Gatlinburg, which borders the Northwestern
segment of the national park, and into the nearby cities of Pigeon
Forge and Sevierville. --Source: Wikipedia

Sevier County History
Prior to the encroachment of white settlers in present day Sevier
County, the area had been inhabited for as many as 20,000 years by
various prehistoric Indian tribes, the ancestors of the regionally
dominant Cherokee Indians. Though they used the region primarily as
hunting grounds, the Cherokee vehemently fought white settlement in
their territory, frequently leading raids on households in the area,
even through the signing of various peace treaties, alternating short
periods of peace with violent hostility[1], until forcibly marched from
their territory by the U.S. government on the infamous "Trail of
Tears[2]."
Sevier County as it is known today was formed on September 18, 1794
from part of neighboring Jefferson County, as has retained the same
boundaries that it was drawn up with over 200 years ago. The county
takes its name from John Sevier, governor of the failed state of
Franklin and first governor of Tennessee, who played a prominent role
during the tumultuous early years of settlement in the region [www.state.tn.us/sos/bluebook/online/section5/counties.pdf].
Since its establishment in 1795, the county seat has been situated at
Sevierville (also named for Sevier), the eighth-oldest city in
Tennessee.
Prior to the late 1930s, Sevier County's population, economy, and
society held little significance vis-? -vis any other county in the
rural South. However, with the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park in 1936, the destiny of Sevier County, within the bounds
of which lies thirty percent of the total area of the national park,
was to change drastically. Today, rampant tourism supports the county's
burgeoning economy which does not appear to be slowing any time in the
near future. --Source: Wikipedia
