Seven Mile Ford took its name from the highway ford on the Holston, seven miles west of Royal Oak. The land here belonged to General William Campbell, hero of Kings Mountain, 1780, and it descended to the wife of John M. Preston. The town originated as a railroad station and was occupied in Stoneman’s Raid of December, 1864.
