Knoxville is the third largest city in the state of Tennessee; the only two larger cities are Memphis and Knoxville. Its population sits at over 183,000 and it is also the county seat of Knox County. The city is also the principal city in the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a total combined population of over 1 million residents.

It was founded in 1786 and, thanks mainly to slavery being prevalent in the southern states, the city’s agricultural sector grew rapidly. It expanded quickly thanks to slavery, but around the time of the start of the Civil War the city had had a change of heart and slavery was outlawed. It was one of the few abolitionist cities during the war and continued its liberal streak afterwards. During the 20th century the city began to decline, mainly because of its large manufacturing sector moving away, though today the city has employed several major urban renewal projects and the city is once again growing.

Knoxville is characterized by long, warm summers and short, cool winters. During the summer months the city’s average high temperature stays right around 65 degrees with overnight lows dropping into the low 60′s. During the winter temperatures drop considerably with average highs barely getting above freezing and lows dropping well into the 20′s.
