History & geography

History

Mooresburg was named for Major Hugh Moore, whose family settled in the area around 1800. Hugh had purchased over several thousands and laid out the setting for the town of Mooresburg. Following the impoundment of the Holston River by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1941, many property owners were relocated to make way for Cherokee Lake. From its first unveiling in the 1940s, over 1,900-2,200 acres of undisturbed forest north of the community was proposed and planned as state park known as Poor Valley State Park in order to promote economic development efforts in the upper East Tennessee region, the plan would stall in the 1970s.
