Shelby's Fort
General Evan Shelby erected a fort here in 1771 that sheltered and protected pioneers and sent victorious forces to the Battle of Point Pleasant, Long Island Flats, and Chicamauga Towns.
Here was conceived by Shelby, Campbell, and Sevier, an expedition to Kings Mountain where the entire British force was killed or captured on October 7, 1780.

The land was purchased by the King family to have a land plantation. (See also National Register Waymark WM6CGA).
