From Wikipedia:
"Pigeon Forge is a mountain resort city in Sevier County, Tennessee, located in the southeastern United States.
Situated just five miles north of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge is primarily a tourist destination. The city's attractions include Dollywood, numerous outlet malls, and music theaters.
The name "Pigeon Forge" comes from an iron forge built by Isaac Love (1783–1854) sometime around 1820. The name of this forge referred to its location along the Little Pigeon River, in the vicinity of what is now the Old Mill. The name of the river comes from the flocks of passenger pigeons that frequented its banks at the time of the first Euro-American settlers' arrival." Text Source: (
