Knoxville is a city located in the eastern part of the state of Tennessee, in the United States. The area where Knoxville is located was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, who lived in the area for hundreds of years before the arrival of European explorers.

In 1786, James White, a Revolutionary War veteran, established a settlement in the area, which he named "White's Fort". The settlement grew rapidly, and in 1791, it was renamed Knoxville in honor of the first Secretary of War, Henry Knox.

Throughout the 19th century, Knoxville continued to grow and develop as a major center of commerce and industry in the region. During the Civil War, Knoxville was a key strategic location, and the city was the site of several important battles.

In the early 20th century, Knoxville continued to thrive, and it became known as the "Underwear Capital of the World" due to the large number of textile mills and underwear factories located in the city.
