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.”
