Introduction to Maryville, Tennessee

The City of Maryville, with a population of 24,000, is located south of Knoxville in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains. Maryville was established on July 11, 1795, by an act of the General Assembly of the Territory South of the Ohio River. Located in Blount County, Maryville was named in honor of Mary Grainger Blount, wife of Governor William Blount. The county was named in honor of Governor Blount. Almost a year later, on June 1, 1796, the State of Tennessee became the 16th state in the Union. 

In 1819, Southern and Western Theological Seminary was opened. The name was changed to Maryville College in 1842. Maryville has an active program for preserving its heritage. This is best seen in the redevelopment and preservation of downtown Maryville. Many historic structures in downtown Maryville remain and have continuous use.

Maryville College

Maryville College is a well known and highly respected liberal arts college with an enrollment of 1200 students, affiliated voluntarily with the Presbyterian Church in the USA. The East Tennessee Japanese Schools, Inc. is located at Maryville College. A little known but interesting connection with the Japanese to Maryville College is that football was introduced to Maryville College intramurals by a Japanese exchange student. When Vanderbilt University organized a varsity football team in 1886, it was probably the first Tennessee college to do so. Maryville College began playing intramural games in 1889 under coach, captain, and quarterback Kin Takahashi, who made many other notable non-football contributions to Maryville College. Maryville College has a history of leading breakthroughs, including the early admission and education of women, minorities, native Americans, and disadvantaged people of Appalachia.
