Loudon County, County in eastern Tennessee, US
Description
Loudon County lies in eastern Tennessee and is shaped by two major rivers: the Tennessee River and the Little Tennessee River converge within its borders. The county spans 247 square miles (640 square kilometers) and includes several municipalities and communities.
History
The county was established in 1870 from portions of Roane, Monroe, and Blount counties. It took its name from the nearby Fort Loudoun, a colonial-era military post.
Culture
The Cherokee people shaped this region for centuries before European settlement arrived. The name Mialoquo marks their former settlement near what is now Tellico Village.
Practical
The county administration is based in the town of Loudon and serves all the municipalities and communities throughout the area. Visitors will find parks, river areas, and local businesses to explore across the region.
Did you know?
The remains of Morganton, a former river port settlement from early American times, now lie hidden beneath the waters of Tellico Lake. This vanished community stands as a quiet reminder of past settlement patterns in the region.
