Knoxville was founded in 1786 and is presently Tennessee's third-largest city. The city is nicknamed "Marble City" because of the marble quarries in the area, which supplied pink marble to the country as a whole in the 1900s. In Washington, The National Gallery of Art has been built by Knoxville marble. Many luxury hotels Knoxville has were also decorated with local marble. These hotels, with their comfortable rooms and pleasant amenities, are conveniently placed in and around the city.

The "Underwear Capital of the World" was another name the city has been called due to the fact that many clothing factories existed there at the time. After the Civil War, many immigrants moved to the city. A notorious train robber with the name of Kid Curry, who was a member of the Butch Cassidy gang, was captured after a shooting incident, which killed two deputies. He escaped from jail, stole the sheriff's horse and rode away into the sunset.

The University of Tennessee plays an important part in the city's economy. Other important contributors are the Department of Energy and its facilities near Oak Ridge and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The city is located close to two major interstate highways, Interstate 40 and Interstate 75. Its easy accessibility to the highways has resulted in distributing and warehousing companies opening facilities in the city. Guests of the hotels Knoxville offers will notice many historic factories in the Old City. Named a 'Top Ten Metropolitan Hotspot' in 2008, major companies have headquarters here, including companies such as Cellular Sales and House Hasson Hardware. The city has its own convention center, The Knoxville Convention Center, with an exhibition area of 120,000 square feet.

The city is also known for its vibrant arts community and a number of festivals take place during the year. Bluegrass and country musicians, such as the Everly Brothers and Homer&Jethro have performed here. Knoxville has its own opera company that presents several productions every year.

The Dogwood Arts Festival, a 17-day festival with craft and food stalls, art shows and live music and the Rossini Festival with the emphasis on Italian culture and opera, take place during that time of the year. June's Kuumba (Swahili for "creativity") gives credit to the heritage of the region's African American community. Storytelling, folk arts and dance form the basis of the festival. Autumn on the Square gives artists from all over the country the opportunity to perform at the Market Square.
