The story
About New Tazewell
When the railroad was built from Knoxville through Cumberland Gap in the late 1880s, it bypassed Tazewell, and the depot was built about two miles to the west. No one is sure whether the railroad could not get the right of way or whether the hills decided it. A new community grew up around the depot, called Cowan City on old survey maps.
It was incorporated as New Tazewell in the 1920s, but the charter was voted down about fifteen years later, and the city was reincorporated in 1954. About 2,800 people lived here at the 2020 census.
