city, county seat
City with a population of 5,264 at the 2000 census. County seat of Roane County. At the time of American independence the area was settled by Cherokee Native Americans. In 1792 the United States built Fort Southwest Point in the area at the fringe of legal white settlement. In 1799 Kingston was settled as a town, named for an officer who served at the fort in the 1790s. On September 21, 1807, the town served as state capital for a day to satisfy the exact terms of a treaty with the Cherokee that ceded what is now Roane County to white settlement in exchange for the state capital being moved to Kingston.
