Kingsport: Eastman Chemical and the Model City of the Tri-Cities
Kingsport sits in Sullivan County on the South Fork Holston River in northeast Tennessee, with roughly 56,000 residents. The city was planned by John Nolen in 1917 as one of the earliest comprehensively planned industrial cities in the United States, and the original Nolen plan still shapes its street grid, neighborhood layout, and park system. Eastman Chemical Company, founded here in 1920 as a division of Eastman Kodak, maintains its global headquarters in Kingsport and runs one of the largest chemical manufacturing sites in North America along the river.
The Kingsport Press, now Quad/Graphics, anchored a book-printing and publishing industry in the city for decades. Holston Army Ammunition Plant, operated by BAE Systems on a government-owned contractor-operated basis, produces explosives including RDX and HMX for military use. Together these operations make Kingsport one of the largest industrial employment centers in the region.
Downtown Kingsport retains its Nolen-era layout, with Broad Street running from the fountain at Church Circle to the original city plan's civic buildings. Bays Mountain Park, a 3,550-acre nature preserve south of the city, contains a reservoir, planetarium, and wildlife habitats. Warriors' Path State Park on the Holston River marks an old Cherokee trade route.
