Kingston has its roots in Fort Southwest Point, which was built just south of present-day Kingston in 1792. At the time, Southwest Point was on the fringe of the legal settlement area for Euro-Americans. A Cherokee village, headed by Chief Tollunteeskee, was situated just across the river, at what is now Rockwood. In 1805, Colonel Return J. Meigs, who operated out of Southwest Point, was appointed Cherokee Agent, effectively moving the agency from the Tellico Blockhouse to Southwest Point. The city of Kingston was established on October 23, 1799, as part of an effort to partition Knox County (the initial effort to form a separate county failed, but succeeded two years later).〔Snyder Roberts, "(Thumbnail Sketch of Early Roane County History )," 1969. Transcribed for web content by Pat Roberts McDonald, 2007. Retrieved: 2 January 2008.〕 Kingston was named after Major Robert King, an officer at Fort Southwest Point in the 1790s.〔Samuel Cole Williams, ''Early Travels in the Tennessee Country, 1540–1800'' (Johnson City, Tenn.: The Watauga Press, 1928), 500.〕 On September 21, 1807, Kingston was Tennessee's state capital for one day. The Tennessee General Assembly convened in Kingston that day due to an agreement with the Cherokee, who had been told that if the Cherokee Nation ceded the land that is now Roane County, Kingston would become the capital of Tennessee. After adjourning that day, the Assembly resumed meeting in Knoxville.〔Roane County Heritage Commission, "(History of Roane County )," 1997. Retrieved: 2 January 2008.〕
