The airport has finished renovation of the ter-minal and construction of a new concourse system.This $50 million project was completed in 2000.
Knoxville’s history began with the CherokeeIndians, the area’s first inhabitants. In the late 18thcentury, James White brought his family over themountains from North Carolina to claim land givento him for his service in the American Revolution.
On June 1, 1796, Tennessee became a state withKnoxville as its first capital. The capital has sincemoved to Nashville, but historic Blount Mansion andJames White’s Fort are still standing among the glassand steel skyscrapers in downtown Knoxville.
