Pigeon Forge (pop. 3,000) was settled in the late 1700s when travelers from the Carolinas followed the Great Indian Path through the Smoky Mountains. An iron forge was established in 1820 by Isaac Cove and a tub mill, 10 years later, by his son. The name "Pigeon" came from the passenger pigeons that fed on beech trees along the banks of the river.
