"Founded in 1786, Knoxville is the third-largest city in the state of Tennessee, behind Memphis and Nashville, and is the county seat of Knox County. Of Tennessee's four major cities, Knoxville is second oldest to Nashville which was founded in 1779. Knoxville also was the state's first capital when Tennessee was admitted into the Union in 1796, in which capacity it served until 1819, when the capital was moved to Murfreesboro.

Knox County Things to Do:

• Knoxville Zoo [see the Knoxville Tourism Guide]
  
  
• Tennessee's die-hard UT sports fans have been known to travel great distances to support their favorite sport, team, or athlete but Knox County 's UT Volunteers ("Vols") fans consider themselves lucky in that they can be at campus in Knoxville in as little as a half an hour (in optimal traffic conditions). To beat the rush, many choose to arrive early in the day and "tailgate" with friends and fellow fans on game day. Although the actual game may not take place until the evening, for some fans, a UT game is no less than an all-day-affair and a great way to break bread, relax, and socialize.
  
  
• Nascar fans have a straight shot to Bristol Motor Speedway in under three hours.
