Originally known as Coal Creek, then Lake City, it is now named Rocky Top. The town wears a long history, being the location of a major lockout of coal miners in 1891, and today proves to be a delightful destination in which to find fun as well as history. Visit the Norris Dam State Park, where 4,038 acres wait with fun for the whole family, visit the Rice 18th Century Gristmill which still grinds cornmeal.
