Kingsport is a city in Sullivan and Hawkins counties in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It lies along the Holston River and had a population of 55,442 at the 2020 census.[6] It is the largest city in the Kingsport–Bristol metropolitan area, which had 307,613 residents in 2020.[7] The metro area is a component of the larger Tri-Cities region of Tennessee and Virginia, with a population of 508,260 in 2020.
Kingsport was chartered in 1822. The city's name is a simplification of King's Port, originally referring to the area on the Holston River known as King's Boat Yard, the head of navigation for the Tennessee Valley.[8] Kingsport is commonly included in what is known as the "Mountain Empire" in southwest Virginia and northeastern Tennessee.
Kingsport was developed after the Revolutionary War, at the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Holston River. In 1787 it was known as "Salt Lick" for an ancient mineral lick. It was first settled along the banks of the South Fork, about a mile from the confluence.[citation needed] The Long Island of the Holston River is near the confluence, which is mostly within the present-day corporate boundaries of Kingsport.[citation needed] The island was an important site for the Cherokee, colonial pioneers and early settlers, and specifically mentioned in the 1770 Treaty of Lochaber.[citation needed]
Early settlements at the site were used as a staging ground for other pioneers who were traveling overland on the Wilderness Road leading to Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap.[citation needed] First chartered in 1822, Kingsport became an important shipping port on the Holston River. Goods originating for many miles around from the surrounding countryside were loaded onto barges for the journey downriver to the Tennessee River at Knoxville.[citation needed]
In the Battle of Kingsport (December 13, 1864) during the Civil War, a force of 300 Confederates under Colonel Richard Morgan stopped a larger Union force for nearly two days. An army of over 5,500 troops under command of Major General George Stoneman had left Knoxville to raid Confederate targets in Virginia: the salt works at Saltville, the lead works at Wytheville, and the iron works in Marion. While Col. Morgan's small band held off a main Union force under Major General Cullem Gillem on the opposite side the Holston River, Union Col. Samuel Patton took a force of cavalry to a ford in the river 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north and came down behind the Confederates. Out-numbered, out-flanked, and demoralized by the bitter winter weather, Col. Morgan surrendered. The Confederates suffered 18 dead, and 84 prisoners of war were sent to a Union prison in Knoxville.[9]
The city lost its charter after a downturn in its fortunes precipitated by the Civil War.[citation needed]
On September 12, 1916, Kingsport residents demanded the death of circus elephant Mary (an Asian elephant that performed in the Sparks World-famous Shows Circus). She had killed city hotel worker Walter Eldridge, who was hired by the circus the day before as an assistant elephant trainer. Eldridge was attacked and killed by the elephant while he was leading her to a pond. The elephant was impounded by the local sheriff. Leaders of several nearby towns threatened to prevent the circus from performing if it included the elephant. The circus owner, Charlie Sparks, reluctantly decided that the only way to quickly resolve the situation was to hold a public execution. On the following day, she was transported by rail to Erwin, Tennessee, where a crowd of over 2,500 people assembled in the Clinchfield Railroad yard to watch her hang from a railroad crane.[10]
Re-chartered in 1917, Kingsport was an early example of a "garden city".[citation needed] Part of it was designed by city planner and landscape architect John Nolen of Cambridge, Massachusetts.[citation needed] It was nicknamed as the "Model City" from this plan, which organized the town into areas for commerce, churches, housing and industry. Most of the land on the river was devoted to industry. Most of the Long Island is now occupied by Eastman Chemical Company, which is headquartered in Kingsport. As part of this plan, Kingsport built some of the earliest traffic circles (roundabouts) in the United States.[citation needed]
Into the 1950s, two important public works projects were constructed: the Boone Dam and the Fort Patrick Henry Dam, hydroelectric dams built along the South Fork Holston River.[citation needed] Kingsport was among the first municipalities to adopt a city manager form of government, to professionalize operations of city departments.[citation needed] It developed its school system based on a model promoted by Columbia University.[citation needed] Pal's Sudden Service, a regional fast-food restaurant chain, opened its first location in 1956 and is headquartered in Kingsport. In 2001, Pal's Sudden Service, won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, becoming the first restaurant company to receive the award.[11]
Kingsport is located in western Sullivan County at the intersection of U.S. Routes 11W and 23. Kingsport is the northwest terminus of Interstate 26.
The city is bordered to the west by the town of Mount Carmel, to the southeast by unincorporated Colonial Heights, and to the northeast by unincorporated Bloomingdale. The Kingsport city limits extend west into Hawkins County and north to the Virginia border.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 50.8 square miles (131.5 km2), of which 49.8 square miles (129.0 km2) are land and 0.93 square miles (2.4 km2), or 1.86%, are water.[12] Most of the water area is in the South Fork Holston River.

New terms begin on July 1. The board elects a vice mayor from among the six aldermen. The council or board then hires a professional city manager.[citation needed]
In late 2021, or early 2022, the board decided to move the election to coincide with the primary elections in Tennessee in August of every even-numbered year.[41] This changes the Mayoral and Alderman election from May 2023 to August 2024.

The crew, Conner Trent sent to take care of my move were wonderful. They worked hard and as a team, didn't waste time, and treated all my things with care respect. I will definitely use their services again!!!
I called Trent Relocation to move a piano for me. Conner was great and very professional on the phone. Casey and the other two young men, who moved the piano, were awesome young men. They took great care in moving it and were very friendly. So, shout out to you guys for being great. Merry Christmas! If we ever move, I'll definitely be calling you. I'll also refer you. Thanks guys.
Trent Relocation did an excellent job moving my mother into our new house. They fit me in within a 2 day booking, excellent customer service and the price was about industry standard. I tipped all the guys and thanked them enormously! Would definitely utilize their services again in the future.
Had a fairly simple move across town. Josh and James are consummate professionals. Handled all of my belongings with care. The new house had a fresh coat of paint and they didn't make a single scratch or dent. Clear and concise communication start to finish. Highly recommend Trent Relocation.

A general rule of thumb is to tip $4 to $5 per hour per mover or to tip between 5 and 10% of the total move cost. For example, if you are planning to spend $1,000 on your move, you might tip between $50 and $100 and divide it evenly between the team helping with your move.
