Settled about 1783, this town, first called "Forks of Little Pigeon," was organized as the county seat of Sevier County in 1795. Indian trader Isaac Thomas' home served as the first courthouse, fort, and tavern. James McMahon gave a 25 acre tract for the town, which was later named for John Sevier, first governor of the state.
