Storage Units in Johnson City

Johnson City History

Located in the northeastern tip of the state, Johnson City, TN, is a beautiful place to live, visit, and grow up. This portion of Eastern Tennessee was first colonized in 1769 by William Bean in what is still known today as the Boone’s Creek area. This stronghold is East Tennessee was once known as the State of Franklin, a willingly independent area of land between North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee that was fought for by opposing factions on the Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site in 1788.

The result of this engagement left the area where it still sits today in the eastern tip of the State of Tennessee in Washington County. The town grew rapidly in the 1800s after becoming a railroad hub most notably known as Johnson’s Depot and was the home of the Clinchfield Railroad and the “Tweetsie” Railroad. The Tweetsie Railroad is now commemorated by the Tweetsie Trail, which is a paved bike and walking path that runs the old train track route between Johnson City and Elizabethton Tennessee.

 

Downtown Johnson City’s New Additions

Downtown Johnson City Tennessee has truly transformed over the past few years from dilapidated old buildings and a seedy crowd to beautiful parks, newly renovated historic buildings with apartments and retail spaces, great restaurants, a farmer’s market, and, coming soon, the Tannery Knob Bike Park.

Downtown Johnson City even boasts of a five-acre greenspace that can be reserved for any type of concert or event. As exciting as the newly remodeled old buildings and great spots to pop in are, they pale in comparison to the uniqueness of what the Tannery Knob Bike Park will be.

World-class mountain biking is just a short ride away from the downtown area. The Tannery Knob Bike Park design is being finalized by the International Mountain Biking Association and will be constructed on 45 acres of land donated by Grant Summers, a local philanthropist and business person.

 

Beer in the Tri-Cities, TN

Beer. It is so common for every town, no matter how big or small, to have local brews for everyone to try, and the Tri-Cities area is no different. The Tri-Cities is an area in Eastern Tennessee comprised of three — really four — cities. The primary cities are: Johnson City, TN; Kingsport, TN; Bristol, TN/VA; with the secondary being Elizabethton, TN. We don’t know why it was put together this way, but it is what it is. Nevertheless, it is easy to find great local beer in each one of the places.

Another great option here is the flagship Yee Haw Brewing Co. in one of the old train stations on Buffalo Street.

The town of Bristol splits the border between Tennessee and Virginia, an it has really put together a beautiful downtown space with some interesting culinary and brewery options.

A History Of Railrods

Johnson City, TN, is a beautiful location for summer fun. As its history implies, Johnson City was originally a railroad town named Johnson’s Depot after Henry Johnson. That railroad history led to a “rails-to-trails” project recently completed, called the Tweetsie Trail.

In the 1870s, a railroad ran from Johnson City to the mountains of Western North Carolina, nicknamed Tweetsie for its high-pitched whistle sound. The railroad sat unused for many years until the city decided to create the Tweetsie Trail.
