Whitson's Fort 1C19 Print E-mail
About 2 miles northeast, south of the mouth of Cosby's Creek, William Whitson, Jr., established a fort on the east bank of Pigeon River in 1783. It was an important frontier outpost, since there was a ford there, and the west bank of the river was then Indian territory.
TN 32, 3 miles north of Cosby. Cocke County Tennessee
