Wikipedia article County Seat:
History: Knox County (formed in 1792 from Greene and Hawkins counties, Tennessee) was named in honor of General Henry Knox. Knoxville, the county seat, was established in 1791-1792. Prior to that, the location was known as White's Fort. In 1792 Governor William Blount made Knoxville the territorial capital, and the town continued as the Tennessee state capital from 1796 to 1813, when Nashville became the capital. A portion of Knox County became Grainger County in 1796.
