Born circa 1862 in McMinn County, Tennessee, Moses Brownlow Byington Sr., moved to the Beaver Ridge community circa 1883. He was instrumental in establishing the town of Byington and two major landmarks: The Byington L & N Railroad Station around 1905, and the Solway Bridge around 1930. A civic leader, he served as Postmaster and as a member of the Knox County Court. Moses Brownlow Byington Sr. died in 1930 while giving a speech lobbying for better roads in the area. This portion of Knox County still bears his name.
