• Tennessee's die-hard UT sports fans have been known to travel great distances to support their favorite sport, team, or athlete but Sevier County's UT Volunteers ("Vols") fans consider themselves lucky in that they can be at campus in Knoxville in as little as a half an hour (in optimal traffic conditions). To beat the rush, many choose to arrive early in the day and "tailgate" with friends and fellow fans on game day. Although the actual game may not take place until the evening, for some fans, a UT game is no less than an all-day-affair and a great way to break bread, relax, and socialize.
  
  
• Nascar fans have a straight shot to Bristol Motor Speedway in under two hours.

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
