The city of Church Hill was incorporated in 1958, though the community was established as a trading post and stagecoach stop called Spencer's Mill and Patterson Mill in the late 18th century. The name Church Hill came later, following the establishment of a Methodist church "on the hill" overlooking the Holston River Valley.The church still stands today on Grandview Street. One of Church Hill's most notable landmarks is the New Canton Plantation and its antebellum mansion, Canton Hall, built by slave labor and owned by the Hord family.〔Katina Rose, "(New Canton Plantation Offers Home for Elegant Southern Weddings )," ''Kingsport (TN) Times News'', 27 February 2012.
