Historical Significance of the Region

This is one of the most scenic locations in the country, the area is steeped in history, with the Pigeon Forge area of Tennesee having lots of stories to tell. One of the first businesses in the East Tennessee town was a furnace and an iron forge. This area was once wilderness and has carved itself out to be the amazing community that it is today. The land that surrounds what is Pigeon Forge today was once the hunting grounds of the Cherokee and the other eastern tribes of the American First Nations.

The Origins of Pigeon Forge

In the late 1700s, a treaty was signed that opened up the valley for settlement. In 1820, a man named Isaac Love started a furnace and iron forge business, becoming the community's first business. So the name Pigeon Forge is a combination of the ironworks business that started then and the Little Pigeon River that goes through the town. Beech trees lined the Pigeon River's banks in the 1700s and early 1800s. As beechnuts were the main part of the diet of the Passenger Pigeons, the river became a natural stopping point for the large flocks of the now-extinct birds.
