Lenoir City is in Loudon County, Tennessee. It is included
in the Knoxville Metropolitan Area and is located southwest
of Knoxville, on the Tennessee River.
Beginning in the 1930s, a series of federal government projects
provided a needed boost to Lenoir City's economy. The Tennessee
Valley Authority's construction of Fort Loudoun Dam and reservoir,
which began in 1940, provided hundreds of locals with jobs,
and brought a number road improvements to the area. The creation
of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s and 1960s brought
about the construction of I-75 and I-40— two trans-national
highways that intersect just northeast Lenoir City. U.S. Highway
321 was built through Lenoir City in the 1980s primarily to
provide greater access to the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, some 40 miles down the road in Blount County.
