Bulls Gap Historic District, Historic district in Bulls Gap, Tennessee, United States.

Bulls Gap Historic District is a protected area with nearly fifty buildings and structures, mainly along South Main Street. The collection includes residences, churches, and commercial buildings reflecting various styles from the 1800s.

The area began in 1792 when John Bull received a land grant near Bays Mountain and created an important passage. This location later gained major significance for the region during the American Civil War.

The name comes from John Bull, a gunsmith who ran a stageline through the mountain passage after receiving a North Carolina land grant in 1792. The commercial core sits in the triangular block of tracks and spur lines, and the former train depot site remains a landmark along South Main Street.

The district lies along South Main Street and is easy to visit since most buildings are visible from the road. It works best to walk around and take time to observe the different architectural styles.

Two major railroad lines cross within the district, forming a triangular area that became the town's commercial center. These railroad connections were why Bulls Gap grew and flourished in this particular location.
