Burnside

First named Point Isabel, this place was settled about 1800 by pioneers from the Carolinas and Virginia. During the Civil War, in 1863, the Union army established a troop rendezvous and supply base here as a prelude to the East Tennessee campaign of Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. The area became known as Camp Burnside in official dispatches, and the name Burnside was retained after the war.
