Kingsport takes it's name from a simplification of "King's Port" which it was originally called. The town was used as a stopping and shipping point for travelers and goods that were destined for Knoxville, traveling on the Holston River, which eventually leads to the Tennessee River. Kingsport is home to Eastman Chemical Company, Domtar Paper Company, Holston Ammunition Plant, and many other industrial businesses. The city is currently undergoing a downtown renovation and revitalization project which has brought many small and locally owned businesses into the area, and has been the catalyst to the restoration of the historical buildings within the downtown area.
I really hope you enjoy!
