French Broad River
Sevierville/Boyd's Creek TN
“As towns situated
along the French Broad are connected via waterway to New Orleans, a flatboat trade flourished along the river in
the early 19th century. In 1793, James Hubert, who lived along Dumplin Creek,
established Hubbert’s Flat Landing to trade with flatboats moving up and down
the river. In the early 19th century, Knoxville and Asheville were connected
via Route 17, a crude road which followed the banks of the French Broad. This
new road gave Tennessee's cattle drovers greater access to markets along the
east coast. In 1820, a stagecoach road connected Sevierville with Maryville to
the west. Sevierville's situation
as a county seat along these early roads helped it to grow. By 1833, the town
had a population of 150, including two doctors, two carpenters, a tanner, two
tailors, a shoemaker, three stores, a hatter, two taverns, and two mills. Distilleries
were popular means of supplemental income. By 1850, John Chandler's distillery
was producing 6,000 gallons of whiskey per year.”
