During the latter part of the 1600's the Tennessee River was a vital part of the French trade route between the Mississippi Valley and Charleston, South Carolina. By the early 1700's the French had established several trading posts along the river. Following this was conflict between the French and English, each seeking to control trade with the Indians. This conflict resulted in the French and Indian War of 1760 which left the English in control of the area.

Chattanooga Tennessee City History
In 1540, Hernando DeSoto's Spanish expedition traveled the Tennessee River from the present location of Chattanooga to the present location of Guntersville. This was the first recorded exploration of the Tennessee by white men. For the next two hundred years Indian settlements remained virtually undisturbed in the Tennessee Valley. Indian life in the valley was tied strongly to the river. These tribes, which included the Cherokee, Creek, and Chickasaw, sited most all of their towns along the river. Other large Indian settlements were found on tributaries of the Tennessee or on river islands. The river was the primary means of transportation among these villages .
