Gatlinburg TN and The Smoky Mountains

The Great Smoky Mountains have some deep rich history dating back to the 1700's. The first European settlers found themselves amongst the Cherokee Indians. After adopting much of the European culture, the majority of the Cherokee were forcibly moved to land in Oklahoma. 

By the 1900's life was much easier than it had been when the area was first settled. People had lived off the land; farming, hunting for food, cutting the trees down for building, and raising livestock was everyday life for the town of Gatlinburg. Many areas that had at one time been forest were turned into pastures and clearings for towns.

By the 20th century things had changed again in the Great Smoky Mountains. Agricultural lifestyles gave way to lumbering. Within a span of about twenty years most people did not depend on agriculture as their main stay - people were dependent upon manufacturing, lumber and store bought items.
 
Shortly after this, Gatlinburg TN and the Smoky Mountains turned into the resort locations that we see them today. Gatlinburg is booming and everybody loves what nature has provided us in the quaint little town of Gatlinburg Tennessee!
