Kingsport Summary
Kingsport, Tennessee is a city located in the northeastern corner of the state, in the Appalachian Mountains. It is part of the Tri-Cities region, which includes Johnson City and Bristol, and is the largest city in the region. Kingsport is located along the Holston River, and is bordered by Sullivan and Hawkins counties. The city has a population of approximately 53,000 people, and is the fifth-largest city in the state.
History
The area that is now Kingsport was first settled in the late 1700s by settlers from the Watauga Association, a group of frontiersmen who had moved to the area from North Carolina.
