Former State Capital

(west side)
The Second Capital of Tennessee

In 1806, the General Assembly of Tennessee passed a resolution that its next meeting be "at the town of Kingston near South-West Point." On Monday, September 21, 1807, the General Assembly met at Kingston which thus became the second capital of Tennessee. The General Assembly adjourned on the same day to meet two days later at Knoxville.
